The fellowship program currently trains four physicians per year, with fellows caring for patients in out-patient and hospital settings. While he leads the program, Kinaan continues to care for patients at Premier Endocrinology and also serves as an attending physician and faculty member at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital.<\/span><\/p>\nAbdo Asmar has led the Greater Orlando Internal Medicine Residency program since it began, and says he saw the young physician\u2019s promise early in his training.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot tell you how honored and proud I am that Mustafa is our program director,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is what we want to do with our GME programs \u2014 grow the next generation of outstanding physicians who are also extraordinary teachers. This is how we improve healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n
Throughout his UCF career, Kinaan has received awards for teaching, and this year received the College of Medicine\u2019s faculty award for outstanding GME clinical teaching and mentorship. He also helped create a new research infrastructure to better support scholarship by residents and fellows. Asmar says his mentee was an innovative and engaging teacher even as a resident \u2013 known for his compelling case review reports. \u201cHe is a learner-focused educator,\u201d he says. \u201cHe knows how to share information based on a learner\u2019s needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he moves forward training tomorrow\u2019s endocrinologists, Kinaan says he is committed to building a fellowship that is recognized locally, regionally and nationally.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal is to create extraordinary physicians who have the expertise and the compassion to create long-term relationships with their patients,\u201d he says. \u201cOur patients have chronic illnesses, and many have suffered for years because of their conditions. We want our physicians to be passionate about endocrinology and the opportunity to be part of the patient\u2019s support system for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doctors cannot care for patients independently immediately after they graduate from medical school. They must first go through residency training \u2014 three to seven years depending on the specialty. After residency, many go into fellowships for even more specialized training.<\/p>\n
The UCF-HCA Healthcare GME consortium is one of the fastest growing in Florida, now training nearly 560 physicians in Tallahassee, Gainesville, Ocala, Pensacola and the greater Orlando area \u2014 with more planned. Residency programs are a key to solving the state\u2019s physician shortage as the majority of physicians begin practicing where they do their residency training. UCF-HCA has 36 accredited programs in specialties including surgery, psychiatry, internal, family and emergency medicine, geriatrics, and neurology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
