Eight new physicians are joining AdventHealth Ocala’s incredible team to take their next steps to become fully licensed, board-certified family physicians.
Match Day, which happened Friday, March 21, is where prospective residents found out where they are going to continue the next chapter of their medical careers.
Before Match Day, applicants interview at residency programs in the specialty of their choice and rank their preferences. The residency programs also rank their preferences of applicants. The rank lists are then matched through the National Residency Match Program, (NRMP).
AdventHealth Ocala is elated to announce that it has filled all spots for its Family Medicine program. There were eight spots open in the program.
“Graduate Medical Education is the final phase of medical training that equips physicians to become independent physicians in their specialty. We in AdventHealth also intend to train physicians to provide compassionate, whole-person care,” said Dr. Klive Forde, the Family Medicine Residency Program Director at AdventHealth Ocala. “We are thrilled to welcome our new resident physician colleagues to AdventHealth. We look forward to helping nurture these talented and dedicated family medicine residents into compassionate and clinically outstanding physician leaders, who will work diligently to enhance healthcare in our community.”
AdventHealth Ocala’s innovative Clinic First residency curriculum emphasizes the importance of the family medicine outpatient practice as the primary site for clinical training. Residents will have the opportunity to work closely with attending physicians across all specialties and immerse themselves in AdventHealth’s whole-person care model, with residents guiding patients toward total wellness – mind, body, and spirit.
“We are delighted to welcome these extraordinarily talented physicians to our AdventHealth family,” AdventHealth Ocala President and CEO Erika Skula said. “Our incredible team is deeply committed to supporting them with their journey to become the next generation of healers and we are grateful to have them help care for our community.”
AdventHealth is looking forward to welcoming these new residents to Ocala this July!
