Why Choose Us 

The St. Joseph’s Hospital Internal Medicine Residency Program is a community-care focused training program that provides much needed services to families throughout West Central Florida. At BayCare, we believe in the train to retain model. BayCare has many career opportunities available, and we want our residents to continue practicing in the Tampa Bay area, whether it is after residency or coming back after fellowship.

We encourage our residents to think outside the box when it comes to medical education. Program leadership welcomes new ideas for program design, structure, and continuous improvement.

Our program enables residents to work closely and directly with faculty. Residents are assigned a mentor with whom they’ll work closely during their three years of training. We also encourage residents to select additional advisors based on their needs and interests.

Our program leaders believe strongly in resident wellness. It’s necessary to care for ourselves in order to care for our patients. We offer education and awareness on various topics through social events, conferences, online resources, and incentive programs.

Curriculum

Each year consists of thirteen, four-week block rotations.
