Our program was established in 2003 through the work of David Orban, MD, Tampa General Hospital, the University of South Florida and TEAMHealth. Kelly O’Keefe, MD was named program director and we have grown rapidly since that time. Our maturation has allowed the addition of fellowships in ultrasound, EMS, Critical Care, Administration as well as 29 strong faculty members with specialization in simulation, research, medical education, toxicology, disaster medicine, ultrasonography, EMS, and pediatrics.The 3 year residency program has 30 residents and is located at Tampa General Hospital, a Level 1 urban tertiary care and regional burn center with 90,000 visits per year and over 900 beds with 60% of all hospital admissions coming through the emergency department doors. The ED opened in 2007 and is a beautiful (and busy!) facility with mostly private rooms with specialties and imaging available 24 hours a day. Nearby in downtown Tampa, we have our state of the art simulation center (CAMLS) for advanced case based and procedural training.We have a curriculum that values resident feedback and trains our residents to become excellent physicians with careers in community emergency medicine, emergency administration and academic practice through a emphasis on leadership, teaching and business of EM training bolstered by strong didactics, research, and international opportunities. There is a strong focus on critical care from day one and by the end of resident training, we have created strong physicians ready to take care of any patient.
