About the program
The HCA Florida North Florida Hospital Family Medicine Residency (UCF/HCA GME Consortium) in Gainesville, FL is a community-based, ACGME-accredited program affiliated with the University of Central Florida, with 24 residents total and eight per year. The family medicine inpatient service is resident-only and unopposed by OB/GYN and pediatrics residents; the hospital is a 445-bed acute care center, with inpatient pediatrics at Osceola Hospital in Orlando. Residents can pursue hospital medicine, sports medicine or women's health tracks, train in OB (vaginal and cesarean delivery) and procedures, and attend monthly SIM-center didactics. Night float and call are supervised by a dedicated nocturnist.

Program highlights
- Stress interest in the unopposed environment: the family medicine inpatient service (two PGY-1, one PGY-2, one PGY-3) is exclusive to family medicine and the program is unopposed in OB/GYN and pediatrics.
- Ask about the concentrations (Hospital Medicine, Sports Medicine, Women's Health) and OB track, since residents choose how deeply to pursue deliveries, C-sections and inpatient procedures (central lines, intubation, thoracentesis, paracentesis).
- Ask about call and night float: two-week 12-hour night float blocks with a dedicated nocturnist; PGY-1s take about 7 to 8 weekend call shifts a year, declining by year.
- Mention scholarship interest: two scholarly activities are expected (one a QI project) and residents have presented at FAFP, STFM and AMSSM meetings with HCA research team support.
- Raise the monthly SIM-center didactics and the Orlando (Osceola) unopposed pediatrics month with housing provided.
- Note the page states applicants should have graduated within the last 2 years (exceptions possible) and that Step/COMLEX 3 must be passed by September 30 of PGY-2.
