Our City
Tampa is a vibrant, progressive and multi-cultural city located on the west coast of Florida. Tampa is ranked among the top U.S. cities for healthiest lifestyle, economic growth, innovation, cost of living, education and craft breweries. We are also home to 3 major professional sports teams. Super Bowl LV is scheduled to be held here in February 2021 and we plan to have our quarterback Tom Brady leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory. Downtown Tampa (Tampa Water Street) is presently being renovated with a 3 billion dollar joint venture project with Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and Microsoft founder Bill Gates. Their 50 acre development plan is to turn our downtown into a green walking city with a vibrant live-work-and-play environment with the USF Morsani Medical School building strategically placed along the development. Nearby Gulf beaches are just a short drive away, with Clearwater Beach consistently ranked #1 in the nation. Year-long festivities and sporting events abound along with the renowned Gasparilla invasion. The Florida Aquarium, Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, Straz Center for the Performing Arts, Riverwalk, Armature Works, multiple museums and scenic Bayshore Boulevard are among the many areas of entertainment and culture available in Tampa. Tampa International Airport (TIA) is consistently ranked as one of the top airports in the country and only a 15 minute drive from Tampa General Hospital. Tampa has everything a young physicians and families could want, with the exception of snow skiing! For more information about Tampa as a city, check out the links below.
