Participating in a GME program allows OFMC to plat a more active role in training future physicians in a comprehensive, patient-centered environment. We believe the culture, compassion, and quality of are our OFMC provider and staff deliver every day are exactly the kind of healthcare experiences we hope future physicians will carry forward throughout their careers.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: OFMC's participation as a hosting site for UCF's School of Medicine and sponsored by HCA Florida Ocala Graduate Medical Education Program is not a merger, acquisition, or buyout. This is simply a collaborative education partnership focused on continuing OFMC's long history of physician training and healthcare excellence. Ocala Family Medical Center remains privately owned, locally operated, and fully committed to the same patient-focused care our community has trusted for over 30 years.
