We are excited to welcome you to our residency program. Come and learn about what we have to offer as you start your journey choosing the best Internal Medicine-Pediatrics training program for your career. Your training here at Jackson Memorial Hospital, the University of Miami Hospital, Holtz Children’s Hospital, the Sylvester Cancer Center and the Miami Veterans Hospital will provide a rich training experience that blends all of the benefits of learning in an academic medical center with deep meaningful experiences at safety net institutions, tertiary and quarternary care centers, and community-based experiences. The Miami Health District is one of the largest medical campuses in the United States with over 2500 staffed beds, making us a premier tertiary and quaternary referral center for not only our region, but also the Caribbean, Central and South America. 

Our goal as a training program is to produce responsible, versatile, resilient, and happy physicians who are astute clinicians, innovative researchers, skilled educators and community leaders with a passion for clinical and evidence-based medicine, advocacy and health policy. We expect the graduates of our program to competently deliver care to children and adults and to have the tools to not only function in any health care system, but to embrace changing it for the better.

We love being doctors. There is nothing more special than being able to participate in the healing of a human being, no matter what stage of life he or she is in. The highlight of our UM/JMH Med-Peds program is the camaraderie between our residents, faculty, and staff. The collegial and supportive atmosphere fostered within the larger academic setting must be experienced firsthand. We welcome the opportunity to meet you in person so we can show off our program and introduce you to our faculty, residents and staff.
