Information for Applicants
Terms and Conditions of Employment - Appointments are renewed annually and continued retention in the training program depends on your satisfactory performance/training progress, including adherence to acceptable professional behavior, as well as the continuation of requisite funding for the program. A resident's reappointment and progression to more advanced levels will be based on the results of periodic reviews of the resident's educational and professional achievement, competence and progress as determined by the program director and teaching faculty.
The primary site of your graduate medical training will be the University of Florida Health Science Center-Gainesville with its major teaching hospitals and affiliates, but the location of the training for any resident may occur at various additional sites. All assignments and call schedules are made at the discretion of the appropriate program director of the University.
Financial Support - The College of Medicine sets the annual stipend for residents at each level. Exceptions to these stipend levels should be approved by the Graduate Medical Education Committee. The College of Medicine pays the employer contribution of FICA. Residents are also eligible for participation in the deferred compensation plan of the State of Florida.
