About the program
Four-year anesthesiology residency run by USF Health in partnership with Tampa General Hospital, aiming to graduate clinicians grounded in academic excellence, quality improvement and research.

Didactics run Monday, Wednesday and Friday (board review, QA conferences, journal club, POCUS, grand rounds, simulation). TGH is the region's only level-1 trauma center and regional cardiac, burn and transplant center.

Program highlights
- Ask how the 'foundational' PGY-1 medicine/surgery year is scheduled, since the program describes it as building blocks for the anesthesiology years.
- Emphasise interest in quality improvement and research: every resident does a QI project and an evidence-based grand rounds with faculty mentorship, and faculty help residents present nationally or publish.
- Point to TGH's case mix (only regional level-1 trauma, cardiac, burn and transplant center; 8,000+ deliveries/year, 200 surgeries/day) and ask how residents get hands-on advanced-case exposure in the subspecialty year.
- Mention the Monday/Wednesday/Friday didactic structure including POCUS and simulation, and ask how protected the time is.
- Ask about progressive leadership: senior residents mentor juniors and pick advanced subspecialty electives in the final year.
- The department also runs a 12-month Acute Pain and Regional Anesthesiology fellowship at TGH (300+ blocks/month) if you are interested in regional anesthesia.
