Community Health and Family Medicine @ UF

The mission of the University of Florida, Shands at AGH Family Medicine Residency Program encompasses training, education, research, and patient care. The Program is designed to train residents to be competent, compassionate, ethical, and professional practitioners who provide comprehensive care to their patients in a continuity of care model. Emphasis is placed on practical and direct patient care-based training in addition to didactic teaching to enhance the learning environment. The Program endeavors to instill in residents the love of lifelong learning and the tools to accomplish this goal.

Residence Conference In education, the Family Medicine Residency Program works with the College of Medicine to mentor and teach medical students from the University of Florida and provide them a rich learning environment for their family medicine experience, both in the outpatient and inpatient settings. Residents are exposed to research initiatives, including clinical research, while allowing them to participate directly in projects and encouraging them to publish. The Program is committed to excellence in patient care, both in the inpatient and outpatient settings, thereby modeling good practice methods, practice management, staff relations, introspection, communication, cooperation, and documentation. The Family Medicine Residency Program is committed to support each resident in his/her educational endeavors, whether the resident selects a pure clinical path or moves on to fellowships, academic medicine, or research.
