Didactic Curriculum 

Residents will participate in didactics during the academic half-day (AHD), a dedicated three- to four-hour teaching block that starts at 1pm. The curriculum covers essential topics designed to help residents develop into well-rounded physicians. Throughout the year, residents also take part in case conferences. Each resident selects a faculty member to collaborate with and delivers a presentation on an assigned topic. Every didactic session is designed to be interactive, featuring one or more lectures along with structured time for discussion.

Program Faculty 

An outstanding residency program starts with faculty who are invested in your growth. At BayCare, you’ll learn from physicians who are not only skilled teachers but also dedicated mentors—supporting you through clinical training, academic development and long-term career planning. Our program fosters a collaborative environment built on compassion, curiosity and excellence. Here, you’ll gain hands-on experience from day one, developing confidence as you transform medical knowledge into practical expertise
