Each resident is also paired with a faculty mentor of their choice for more advanced career planning.
Residents are assigned a big sibling upon starting orientation for peer mentorship and easier transition.
Each class is assigned a specific PD/APD who meets with residents semi-annually to provide one-on-one feedback, discuss their progress and plan their career trajectory
How does the residency address diversity?
Our residency values diversity and inclusion and we see this as essential in addressing disparities in healthcare and achieving health equity. We believe a diverse and inclusive residency is critical to providing high-quality care and education. We serve a diverse patient population and want our residents to mirror the diversity of our community.
That community, South Florida and Miami-Dade County, is like no other is like no other in the United States. Miami-Dade County has had a 7 percent population growth since 2010, and it is 67% Hispanic/Latino, 18% black, and 51% foreign-born, with more than 70% of households speaking a first language other than English at home.
The University Of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Jackson Health System aim to be one of the premier academic institutions leading our nation in diversity and inclusion.
Jackson has been named a LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Top Performer in the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) 2020 Report, published by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. Each of our hospitals was evaluated and received high marks for their policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) patients and their families, as well as employment non-discrimination and cultural competency training for staff.
How does the residency address wellness ?
The residency hosts two retreats where all residents are protected and get to enjoy time outdoors. Activities in the past have included barbecuing, games, kayaking, paddle boarding, sports, and lounging at the beach.
The ED shifts are scheduled in a way to promote circadian rhythms and group nights.

Every Thursday the institution has Jazz music being played and the farmer’s market on campus!
