Old Town, Florida, located in scenic Dixie County, is one of the state's most historic communities, originally settled by colonists in 1820. Nestled along the famous Suwannee River and surrounded by natural springs, Old Town offers abundant opportunities for swimming, fishing, scuba diving, and exploring Florida’s unique underwater wildlife. The area’s natural beauty and quiet charm make it an ideal place to live and work. Old Town is just over 40 miles from Gainesville, home to the University of Florida College of Medicine and the UF Health Science Center.

The primary mission of the Department of Community Health and Family Medicine at the University of Florida College of Medicine is to serve our patients and community, positively shaping the future of healthcare through outstanding teaching, discovery, and innovation in family medicine. https://chfm.ufl.edu/

The vision at CHFM is to be a nationally recognized model department of family medicine. CHFM integrates teaching in humanistic medicine, medical ethics, behavioral medicine, and rural and community health into both undergraduate and graduate curricula. The department has established model practice sites in several communities, offering training in urban and rural medicine and healthcare for underserved areas in the state. These teaching and clinical activities are augmented by a variety of research projects that explore and contribute to the scientific knowledge base in family and community medicine, rural health, primary care, behavioral medicine, and the medical humanities.

Located in Gainesville since 1906, the University of Florida (UF) comprises 16 colleges, a major academic health center, a championship-winning athletic program, a top-ranked undergraduate online program, and, in keeping with its land-grant mission, one of the nation’s most comprehensive programs in agriculture and natural resources. All are based at the University’s 2,000-acre campus, joining its historic red-brick core with advanced facilities and preserved natural areas and connecting to adjacent innovation, commercial, and residential districts. UF has 55,000 students, 30,000 employees, 5,500 faculty members, a $5 billion annual budget, and more than 140 mission-focused units across the state of Florida. It is the Sunshine State’s only member of the Association of American Universities, comprising the nation’s 60 leading public and private research universities. More than 51,000 students have applied as freshmen for the 2021-22 academic year — a new record.

Several qualities distinguish UF from today’s leading public research universities. The first is its highly comprehensive breadth on a single campus, facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration among, for example, faculty within the adjacent colleges of journalism, engineering, and medicine. The second is its unwavering support from the state of Florida, which has endorsed UF’s drive to become one of the nation’s very best public research universities, supporting those efforts since 2013 with hundreds of millions of dollars in additional funding to grow its faculty ranks by 500 members. UF’s third exceptional quality is its dynamism. Like Florida, the nation’s third-largest state and among the fastest-growing, UF is undergoing rapid transformation as it pursues the overarching aspiration to be "a premier university that the state, nation, and world look to for leadership.” https://med.ufl.edu/.
