Message from the Directors
Welcome to the Adolescent Medicine fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine! We are excited to show you what we have to offer. The fellowship was established in 1988 and has trained over 37 fellows who now serve as department heads, medical directors, researchers, educators, and outstanding clinicians throughout the U.S. Teaching, clinical practice, scholarly work, advocacy and professional development are our top priorities for fellowship training. Trainees work closely with interdisciplinary faculty including board-certified adolescent medicine physicians, psychologists, and dietitians who comprehensively address complex medical problems, including eating disorders, obesity, young women's healthcare needs, mental health, and high-risk behaviors. Additionally, through participation in our LEAH training program, our fellows have opportunities to collaborate with faculty leaders from UTHealth Houston School of Public Health and the Cizik School of Nursing. Our comprehensive curriculum includes clinical, didactic, experiential, and research-based interdisciplinary education and training. We believe in providing a strong educational foundation and also providing opportunities for fellows to develop their niches of expertise via unique elective experiences and mentoring. As you will see, the Adolescent Medicine fellowship at BCM has much to offer. We look forward to reviewing your fellowship application.
