Wouldn't it be great if we as villagers can get internists from USF, Mayo, or UF here, just as we have a branch of the Moffitt Cancer Center? Just a thought, what do others think?

You are so right about the backgrounds of most of the physicians here.
Getting excellent care for us seniors is a selling job and one that requires a LOT of expertise in starting a teaching medical facility...and good teaching medical facilities take decades to evolve. Seems that those with the research funds would be interested in an excellent geriatric facility...if the medicare funds don't dry up.
Follow the money.
