Residents' Corner

Providing a Resource for Residents & Fellows

Duval County is home to more than 600 medical residents every year. The Duval County Medical Society (DCMS) recognizes that resident and fellow members have unique needs. That's why we offer a variety of educational opportunities, networking events, and chances to share research that are tailored specifically to the interests of young physicians!

Any graduate of a recognized medical school serving as an intern, resident, or fellow physician in any accredited academic medical training program in Duval County are, during the period of his or her internship, residency, or fellowship, eligible for Resident/Fellow Membership in the DCMS. This membership is a one-time fee of $25 and lasts the duration of the residency and/or fellowship.

Resident Opportunities & Resources

Life After Residency
While young physicians are working hard every day learning to practice medicine, the most common request we hear is for education about what happens AFTER Residency. The Life After Residency program is a seminar that focuses on showing residents the best way to transition to life after their program ends. Topics include finding the perfect job, negotiating the perfect contract and managing student loan debt. This program is FREE for resident members of the DCMS.

Beers with Peers
Beers with Peers is a fun social event for medical residents and fellows to enjoy time with their colleagues outside the office and meet their counterparts from other hospitals in the area. Residents can enjoy a few cold drinks and light appetizers while networking.

Beers with Peers is held throughout the year so stay tuned to our events page for our next event!

Poster Presentations
Each year, the DCMS offers opportunities for residents and fellows to present their research. The poster session takes place at the International Healthcare Symposium + DCMS Annual Meeting. Poster presentations are judged and cash prizes are awarded to the physicians with the highest scores.

This is a great opportunity for residents and fellows to showcase their research on a local level in the Northeast Florida medical community.

DCMS Reverse Job Board
The DCMS is dedicated to helping residents find employment in Northeast Florida. The DCMS Reverse Job Board is designed to connect medical residents with job opportunities in the Jacksonville area. Resident members can add their personal information to the board along with their preferred roles.

Jaguars Tailgate Party
The Duval County Medical Society Jaguars Tailgate Party is open to all DCMS members but is a popular event for residents and fellows. Purchasing a ticket for this event includes your game ticket and admission to the tailgate with free food and drinks!

The Duval County Medical Society exists for one reason: to help physicians care for the health of our community. The organization was founded in 1853 by Jacksonville physicians hoping to come together to solve a public health crisis. In the more than 170 years since, DCMS physicians have led the way in caring for the health of our city, state and nation.

By joining our organization, you join a legacy of daring and caring leaders who have helped to transform the delivery of healthcare across the world. DCMS Members have served as leaders in organized medicine around the world, including numerous presidents of such groups as the Florida Medical Association, American Medical Association, and World Medical Association.
