Anyone have experience or insight into the smaller programs in Florida like Cleveland Clinic Weston or Mayo Clinic Jacksonville?
Medical students who pick a residency program based on being near the beach need to rethink their priorities. A program should be picked based on the quality of training it offers first then you can consider cost of living and location. This explains why Hopkins is still a top 10 program vs Miami. Or, why Mayo Clinic Rochester is significantly better than Mayo Florida in terms of national rankings.Mayo lacks trauma but agree, tons of transplant so you know how to quickly line and stabilize a patient. Also a good variety of cases- carcinoid tumor and mediastinal mass removals were not uncommon. Hours probably are cush by most standards. Some of the older attendings are grouchy and have little interest in teaching, but the younger/newer attendings are good teachers.
But honestly, living by the beach is the best part.
That said, it’s a cushy program and if you Match there I’m sure you will be able to find a job or fellowship post residency.

I like Mayo Clinic but the Florida location isn’t a top tier program by any measure. That said, it’s a cushy program and if you Match there I’m sure you will be able to find a job or fellowship post residency.
Like Vector said anyone finishing those HCA programs can get a job in 2023 or 2024. The job market is wide open. But, these community programs tend to attract lower ranked medical students in terms of Step Scores, medical schools, etc. So, I would comment that most HCA programs tend to be lower tier programs but ones in which every spot will still be filled by an applicant. If your Step Scores are very marginal based on the match statistics those are programs you should be applying to Match.Anyone know anything about HCA programs in FL? Like Kendall regional or the one in Ocala?
