The University of Florida (UF) Department of Anesthesiology is excited to welcome new residents to our team!
For each academic year, the department interviews and screens many prospective residents that are among the best in the nation. This year we received 1,400 applications and interviewed over 200 candidates for our residency positions.
Twenty-six physicians are joining our residency program this June. Within the group we are welcoming 20 interns, including six graduates from the UF College of Medicine, and 6 CA-1 residents.
Please help us welcome the next generation of anesthesiologists to our team. We look forward to their contributions to UF and the community.
