The University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville is the largest of the three University of Florida Health Science Center Jacksonville colleges — medicine, nursing and pharmacy.[2] The college's 16 clinical science departments house more than 440 faculty members and 380 residents and fellows.[3] The college offers 34 accredited graduate medical education programs and 10 non-standard programs.
The campus continues to develop and expand,[4] as evidenced by the Breast Center, Cardiovascular Center, Neuroscience Institute, the Women's Health Center and the UF Proton Therapy Institute's proton beam cancer treatment facility.
The UFCOM-J academic roots stem not only from medical education and patient care, but also from faculty-driven clinical research. The faculty physicians participate in advanced clinical trials to provide patients the latest in diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitative services. The campus houses a state-of-the-art 16,000-square-foot (1,500 m2) research facility.
