Residency Program
Community Service/Medical Mission Trips
Community Service
Our program often works throughout the local community to serve the needs others. Every year our providers perform free back-to-school and pre-participation physicals at the Greenwood Community Center, and also at Palm Harbor University High School. Yearly community blood pressure and skin cancer screenings are also performed by our resident and faculty physicians. We routinely see patients at the Willa Carson Center, providing free medical care for financially needy individuals. Teaching community outreach is also an important part of our program, which occurs during activities such as resident supervision of students at the USF Bridge Clinic, activities included in our global health/ medical mission curriculum, and also during our suturing workshops at Countryside High School. For providers interested in sports medicine, we often provide medical coverage for athletic events like the IRONMAN Florida 70.3 triathlon, St. Anthony’s Triathlon, the Disney Marathon, and others.
Tropical Medicine & Medical Mission Trips
Residents interested in International and Travel Medicine can learn more by participating in our Global Health/ Tropical Medicine curriculum. As a USF residency program, we often collaborate with the USF College of Medicine to support their global health projects and initiatives. Every year our program provides funding for two of our residents to participate in the USF Project World Health mission trip to the Dominican Republic, alongside our faculty. Our residents have participated in outreach programs to Africa, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and other locations across the globe.
