Exceptional Training, Endless Opportunities
At Baylor, you will train at Texas Children's Hospital, one of the nation's premier children's hospitals.

Whether your interests lie in primary care, subspecialty training, research, advocacy, education, or leadership, our program offers the support and opportunities to help you achieve your goals.
A Great Place to Live and Learn
Houston is a vibrant, diverse city with world-class food, culture, sports, and entertainment. Combined with a reasonable cost of living and the energy of the Texas Medical Center, it is a fantastic place to spend residency and build lasting friendships both inside and outside the hospital.
