About the College of Medicine at the University of Florida:
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/.
