QUICK FACTS
HOW WE ’ RE UNIQUE
• We ’ re community-based . Instead of learning in an academic medical center , seeing only the sickest patients and learning largely from residents , our students learn one-on-one from community health-care providers in their offices , clinics and other outpatient settings , as well as in area hospitals . Those communities are all over the state , near our six regional campuses and our rural / clinical training sites .
• We ’ re mission-driven . A large part of our mission ( see inside front cover ) is to serve the underserved . That starts with choosing the right students . Test scores matter , but so do other factors , such as where they grew up , what motivates them and how they ’ ve already served the community . We immerse them in a culture that values diversity , mutual respect , teamwork and open communication – and prepare them to become lifelong learners .
• We ’ re focused on primary care . Through 2021 , more than half of our M . D . alumni matched in one of these primary-care specialties : internal medicine , family medicine , pediatrics or obstetrics-gynecology . Most of our alumni now practicing in Florida are in primary care , and a good percentage of those are in rural or other underserved settings , where recruiting new physicians can be a challenge .
