Broward Health celebrated a significant milestone as it welcomed its largest-ever Graduate Medical Education (GME) class at their white coat ceremony.
A total of 127 future residents and fellows began their training across the Broward Health. For the 2024-2025 academic year beginning July 1, Broward Health is adding residency programs in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and independent plastic surgery program and neurology. In the upcoming academic year, Broward Health will launch fellowship programs in hematology/oncology, hospice and palliative care, nephrology and infectious disease.
Some of these incoming residents come from the funding for 72 residents that Broward Health received from the state’s “Slots for Docs” initiative and the Start Up Bonus Program aimed at addressing the projected physician shortage in the coming decade.
This funding will support Broward Health in expanding its medical workforce and retaining talented physicians in South Florida.
