UF Internal Medicine Residency

Welcome to the UF Internal Medicine Residency Program at Ascension Sacred Heart, located in the heart of Pensacola, FL. At 1657 Trinity Dr, our program is dedicated to training the next generation of compassionate and skilled internists, equipped to deliver high-value care to diverse patient populations. Our three-year residency program is designed to prepare physicians for a successful career in internal medicine or further fellowship training in a subspecialty of their choice.

As part of the University of Florida College of Medicine, we pride ourselves on a deep commitment to serving all patients, with a focus on the medically underserved and vulnerable communities of Northwest Florida and South Alabama. Our residents are trained under the expert guidance of experienced internists and sub-specialists in both hospital and ambulatory settings, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.

Our program emphasizes a balanced approach to education, combining academic rigor with clinical diversity in a supportive and collegial environment. Residents benefit from close interaction with faculty, fostering a strong support network throughout their training. We prioritize diversity, inclusion, and health equity, recognizing that a multicultural learning environment enriches the educational experience.

Residents in our program will develop a solid clinical foundation in core areas such as internal medicine, pulmonology, cardiology, and adult critical care. As they progress, they will have opportunities to explore further subspecialties, engage in research, and assume supervisory roles. Our curriculum is organized into 12 four-week rotations, providing a structured yet flexible framework to cater to individual career interests.

We offer a competitive benefits package, including an annual CME allowance and resources to support educational and research endeavors. Our goal is to foster an environment of mutual respect and progressive autonomy, where residents can grow into competent and confident internists.
