Message from the Program Director

Welcome to the Florida State University College of Medicine Internal Medicine Residency Program at Lee Health, Gulf Coast Medical Center.

We are honored to invite you to explore a program built on a commitment to excellence in patient care, education, scholarship, and professional growth. Our mission is to train compassionate, knowledgeable, and adaptable internists who are prepared to thrive in an ever-evolving healthcare environment while maintaining the human connection at the heart of medicine.

Located within Gulf Coast Medical Center, a 699-bed tertiary care hospital serving one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States, our residents benefit from a broad spectrum of clinical experiences, diverse patient populations, and close collaboration with dedicated faculty across multiple specialties. We believe exceptional physicians are developed not only through exposure to complex clinical medicine, but also through mentorship, curiosity, teamwork, and service to others.

As a new residency program, we offer a unique opportunity for residents to help shape our culture and traditions while training in a collegial environment that values innovation, bedside teaching, professionalism, wellness, and lifelong learning. Whether your future lies in primary care, hospital medicine, academic medicine, or subspecialty training, we are committed to helping you achieve your goals.

We seek residents who are driven, compassionate, and eager to make a meaningful difference in the lives of their patients and communities. Together, we will build a program defined by clinical excellence, mutual respect, and a shared dedication to advancing the health of Southwest Florida.

Thank you for your interest in our program. We look forward to meeting you and learning about your journey.

Sincerely,

Milos Babic, M.D.
Program Director
