Education & Research
Advancing care through education, research, and community responsibility.
As a teaching hospital, Coral West Community Hospital is committed to learning, discovery, and the development of future healthcare professionals. Through graduate medical education and clinical research, we help advance patient care while remaining grounded in the needs of the community we serve. Education and research are not separate from care—they strengthen it.
Residency Program
Residency training is the foundation of our educational mission. Coral West Community Hospital’s residency program prepares physicians through hands-on clinical experience, meaningful patient relationships, and close faculty mentorship in a community-based hospital setting.
Residents are active members of the care team, supported by experienced physicians who are committed to teaching, professional growth, and compassionate, patient-centered practice.
Our residency program reflects our belief that strong education leads to stronger care—for today’s patients and the future of healthcare.
Family Medicine Residency
