Katherine Choi loved building the UCF College of Medicine<\/a> as a student. So when a leader of UCF\u2019s new partnership obstetrics and gynecology residency talked to Choi about building its new program, her reaction was swift and certain: \u201cLet\u2019s do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday, Choi got the opportunity, matching into an OB-GYN specialty at North Florida Regional Medical Center in Gainesville<\/a>, a new graduate medical education program established by UCF and Hospital Corporation of America\u2019s North Florida Division.<\/p>\n

She is one of 13 UCF Class of 2018 medical students who will do all or part of their residency training in UCF-HCA programs in Gainesville, Ocala and Central Florida. With this year\u2019s match, the HCA consortium added 162 new residents and fellows, bringing its total to 345 in July.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to welcome these outstanding young physicians into our UCF-HCA consortium starting this summer,\u201d said Dr. Diane Davey, associate dean for graduate medical education. \u201cWe are excited to be building new residency programs to improve access to care and help alleviate Florida\u2019s physician shortage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eight of the UCF graduates will to through the UCF-HCA transitional-year program at Osceola Regional Medical Center. Certain specialties — such as ophthalmology, radiology and dermatology \u2013 require students to do a one-year transitional year of training that focuses on general medicine.<\/p>\n

Medical student Nicole Spitzer said she is thrilled to be staying in Orlando for another year before moving to LSU for ophthalmology. After Friday\u2019s match ceremonies, she wore an LSU baseball cap as she stood with Dr. Abdo Asmar, program director for UCF\u2019s transitional and internal medicine residencies at Osceola Regional.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward for my transitional year so I can really learn how to be The Good Doctor,\u201d Spitzer said.<\/p>\n

As a faculty member, Asmar said he was thrilled to be see his former medical students train as physicians. \u201cIt\u2019s an amazing opportunity to teach them as medical students and then see them grow into real doctors caring for patients,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The UCF-HCA consortium now has 21 residencies and fellowships. The partnership hopes to add more than 600 residency positions to the state by 2020 to help address Florida\u2019s physician shortage.<\/p>\n
