Dear Prospective Applicants,

Thank you for considering the University of Florida’s main campus in Gainesville, Florida for your cardiology fellowship training. Selecting an outstanding group of fellows each year is among our highest priorities. We seek individuals who are intellectually curious, hardworking, honest, self-motivated, collegial, and who find genuine fulfillment in caring for patients and serving others.

Our goal is to provide a training environment that challenges fellows to reach their full potential while fostering a culture of teamwork and professional growth. We are proud of the breadth of clinical experience, educational opportunities, and camaraderie that have defined our program since its founding in 1958.

Selected highlights from fellow perspective:

-Large referral base serving patients from all over Florida and South Georgia

-Affordable cost of living relative to many academic medical centers
