GME Administration

AdventHealth Graduate Medical Education Department is committed to serving the community, the sponsoring institution, the faculty, staff, resident physicians and medical students. The mission of AdventHealth Orlando, and of the residency and fellowship programs, is "To extend the healing ministry of Christ." We do so by preparing compassionate and competent physicians, who, we hope, will plan to practice when they complete their training.
