About FSU's Family Medicine Residency Program:
We are a 3-year, ACGME certified program with a 100% Board Exam Pass Rate since our inception.
Our residency program offers you a close-knit fellowship with other residents, staff and faculty, while preparing you in a supportive training environment to graduate the program fully equipped to practice full-spectrum family medicine. Our residents provide the highest quality of comprehensive and compassionate care to patients throughout their life cycle, with particular emphasis on the goal of reducing health disparities for the underserved community. We are near downtown Fort Myers, a federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area (HSPA). Due to a shortage of primary care physicians in Southwest Florida, there exists numerous opportunities for graduates to work in ambulatory, inpatient, and long-term care facilities.
Build a Legacy.
We empower residents to become well-rounded Family Physicians by providing a strong, comprehensive foundation alongside the flexibility to personalize their training. Residents have the opportunity to cultivate their passions with early electives and focused areas of concentration such as Lifestyle Medicine, Womens Health, Global Health, Sports Medicine and others. As a core site for the Lifestyle Medicine Residency Curriculum, residents receive mentorship from our many Lifestyle Medicine board-certified faculty. Ultimately, this approach empowers our graduates to become leaders who provide excellent, compassionate care in any community they choose to serve.
