Education & Training
Our faculty provides hands-on education and training that prepares medical students and residents for comprehensive family medicine practice. This includes the FIU/Baptist Health Family Medicine Residency, where residents gain broad experience in preventive care, chronic disease management and community-focused medicine and the FIU/Baptist Health Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship, a one-year intensive program for family medicine physicians to further their sports medicine education.
Through a combination of continuity clinics and community-based learning, trainees build clinical skills and deepen their understanding of patient care across diverse settings.
Clinical Services
Our family medicine physicians at the FIU Health Faculty Group Practice provide comprehensive primary care for children, adults and older patients, with a focus on prevention, chronic disease management and whole-person care.
Clinical services extend beyond the practice through community-based programs, including Green Family Foundation NeighborhoodHELP, which connects patients and families to coordinated medical care, social services and community resources. Patients benefit from team-based care, convenient access to services and a strong commitment to improving health outcomes in the community.
Faculty & Staff
Our faculty and staff are dedicated clinicians, educators and community partners committed to advancing family medicine, supporting medical students and improving the health of the communities they serve.
