Prospective Residents

Holy Cross Hospital, a private Catholic non-profit community hospital, is a part of trinity health and opened in 1955 to serve the sick and injured without regard to race, religion, or nationality. The medical staff consists of more than 600 highly skilled physicians representing nearly every specialty in medicine. Through its partnership with University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and nearby educational institutions, it is a training site for nurses, physician assistants, UM medical students and residents. 

In addition to the traditional outpatient continuity practice experience, the North Ridge Internal Medicine Practice includes a Cardiometabolic Clinic. The Cardiometabolic Clinic is a physician-led, multidisciplinary, comprehensive lifestyle modification program for patients diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome.

• The Cardiometabolic Clinic consists of a 1-year program, in which patients meet with Physicians, as well as a Dietitian regularly. These appointments consist of vital signs monitoring, body measurements, blood work if needed, as well as an appointment with our specialized dietitian in order to receive feedback about dietary habits as well as recommendations on where improvement can be achieved.

In addition to the traditional continuity practice experience, the Wilton Manors Continuity Practice includes dedicated experiences in:

• LGBTQ+ Medicine - Wilton Manors, Florida is a vibrant community and is home to one of the largest LGBTQ+ populations in the country.  Our practice provides primary care to this typically underserved and underrepresented population.  At this location, resident physicians and medical staff have undergone trans-affirming medical training and are TransSocial Certified.
  
• HIV Medicine/Test-and-Treat Center- In partnership with the department of health, we serve as a referral source for newly-diagnosed patients with HIV or at-risk patients to help initiate appropriate treatment and connect patients with community resources to augment their care.

Our residents volunteer to work at Light of the World Clinic which provides basic medical care to patients who do not have health insurance. This rotation is included in the ambulatory curriculum. Residents work in the clinic on Tuesday-Wednesday-Friday, in the morning sessions led by the Chief Medical Residents. It is a great opportunity to provide medical care, as well as continuity care to the most vulnerable population in the community.
