New Residents join us in 2023

It’s that time of year once more! Our halls are lively with the arrival of fresh faces, as a new cohort of residents and fellows joins our ranks.

In our unwavering commitment to education, we seek out the most exceptional and talented individuals to become part of the University of Florida Department of Anesthesiology. Here, they have the opportunity to learn from our exceptional faculty and become valued members of the esteemed Gator Nation!

This summer, we warmly welcome a group of twenty-five physicians who have embarked on their anesthesiology residency journey with us. Among them, we are proud to have five graduates from the University of Florida College of Medicine. Let’s extend our heartfelt greetings to these remarkable individuals and make an effort to connect with them as they become part of our vibrant community.
