HCA Florida JFK Hospital/University of Miami Miller School of Medicine GME Consortium Program
About This Program
The fellowship offers an unparalleled experience. Our program provides extensive exposure to a diverse patient population-including Haitian, Hispanic, and South American communities-across a broad socioeconomic spectrum. Fellows gain invaluable experience with a wide array of disease states. The transplant rotation at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston, led by world-renowned physicians, provides exceptional training, performing more heart transplants than Cleveland Clinic's main campus. -
