USF in downtown Tampa

| Jo-Lynn Brown

The USF Health Morsani College of Medicine and Heart Institute is moving in 2019, bringing approximately 1,800 students, faculty and staff to live, work and study along the downtown waterfront as a key anchor at Water Street Tampa.

By moving within a mile of its primary teaching hospital, Tampa General Hospital, USF will attract the brightest students and faculty.

The downtown site will position the medical school in proximity to USF Health’s world-class simulation center, the USF Health Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation, or CAMLS, and other surrounding facilities.
