WELCOME!We look forward to seeing you. It has been a busy year with many

new programmatic changes in the department. Reflecting the

strengths and growth of our department, we are very proud that

seven of our programs were recognized by U.S. News as among the

best in the country. Considering our programs collectively, we were

the highest ranked program of our size in the entire U.S.!

We have an exciting new resident education program with the

creation of primary care, global health, public policy and research

tracks. Our research program remains one of the top in the country,

with more than $37 million in grant and contract funding. Our

clinical programs are expanding with the creation of Centers of

Excellence programs. We are undergoing a facelift, with major

renovations planned for faculty offices as well as outpatient care

facilities, and we will soon start construction on a dedicated grand

entrance to the Shands Hospital for Children. These efforts are

part of a $100 million dollar capital improvement program for

pediatric facilities.

Indeed, it’s been a busy year filled with some amazing leaps of

growth and change! On Saturday October 13, we’ll be celebrating

with dinner and plenty of dancing to the music of Smooth Rx,

featuring the best conga player in town (Dr. Gonzalez, of course)!

This is going to be a great time so again, welcome and...

Go Gators!
