About the Program

We are an 11-11-11 program with a passion for service at a hospital growing its academic footprint. Our host hospital (TMH) is also the home of 4 other residencies (internal medicine, general surgery, psychiatry, and pharmacy), offering benefits of both community and academic training experiences while still maintaining a sense of being “unopposed”— TMH FM residents are still the only residents on pediatric, obstetric, and emergency services. 

We are situated in the heart of the Florida Panhandle, in a bustling capital city with the government sector and multiple universities, yet surrounded by over a hundred miles of rural land in all directions. This provides great learning opportunities across demographics and pathologies and in multiple learning environments both urban and rural. TMH offers broad and strong training in both hospital medicine and the primary care clinic across all demographics. After graduation, our residents go on to serve in a variety of settings, from rural full-scope inpatient/outpatient practices, to urban hospitalist, urgent care, ER, or primary care work.
