Continuing Medical Education

As part of the educational mission, the college supports lifelong learning experiences for physicians through the provision of seminars, workshops, review courses, symposia, conferences, meetings, lecture series and grand rounds. Continuing Medical Education (CME) is designed to share the latest in medical knowledge and to teach new skills, both technical and patient-relationship skills, while further developing existing skills.

UF College of Medicine - Jacksonville also supports continued faculty development through a series of conferences designed to enhance faculty instructional and evaluative skills as well as monitor and develop instructional programs.

Medical Student Education

Clinical rotations in all the major disciplines are provided for students from the UF College of Medicine in Gainesville. Third-year medical students enrolled at UF spend about 25 percent of their training at the Jacksonville campus, gaining experience in an urban setting. While third-year rotations are only offered to UF students, elective rotations in the fourth year are available to students from accredited schools in the US and Canada. The UF College Of Medicine - Jacksonville also provides education during the clinical year to fourth year medical students in good standing at a medical school which is accredited by the COCA or LCME and which is a member, or an affiliated member, of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Students from non LCME or COCA accredited institutions may also be eligible for rotations at the University of Florida College of Medicine â€" Jacksonville. In addition, clinical rotations are available to students attending the UF School of Physician Assistant Studies program.

Simulation Education

The UF Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research (CSEaSR), one of the nation’s largest non-military simulation training centers, provides comprehensive training of multiple competencies, simultaneously and repetitively, and is rapidly becoming a vital component of medical education. It allows the gap to be bridged between classroom and "real-life" experience, challenging the trainee to make critical decisions and then witness the results of those decisions in a controlled, observed and patient-safe environment with faculty and peer feedback. CSESaR is located in a facility spanning approximately 24,000 square feet (2,200 m2) and is divided into three areas in the Pavilion building on the UF Health Jacksonville campus: 7,800-square-foot (720 m2) main simulation and conference/instruction area; 15,900-square-foot (1,480 m2) operating room simulation and instruction area, and an area for disaster simulation. The central mission of CSESaR, a collaborative effort supported by UF Health Jacksonville and the UF College of Medicine - Jacksonville, is to promote quality patient care, expand patient safety initiatives and enhance multidisciplinary health care, education and teamwork through simulation and goal-directed training.

Library Services

Borland Health Sciences Library, a branch of the UF Health Science Center Libraries, one of the libraries in the UF George A. Smathers Library System with its extensive resources, supports the educational, research and clinical information needs of UFHSC Jacksonville.
