About the Program
The Pediatrician-Scientist Program is an ideal career choice for M.D./Ph.D. or M.D. graduates with significant research experience who are seeking to build a career as a pediatrician-scientist. As the largest pediatrics department in the United States, affiliated with the top-ranked Texas Children's Hospital, we have the resources and commitment to provide expert clinical training, mentorship and educational opportunities necessary to support your successful career development as a physician-scientist. The PSP program has been designed to offer structured educational activities along with the flexibility required to foster longitudinal development as a physician-scientist.
Application Instructions
Motivated M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. graduates should apply to the Baylor College of Medicine Department of Pediatrics Residency Program using the Electronic Residency Application Service. Select the Pediatrician-Scientist Track, which is abbreviated as "Peds/Scientist Development Prog".
Select candidates will be contacted to provide additional supplemental application materials. Invited applicants will attend our recruitment activities virtually for interviews and to learn about the clinical and research resources at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital. These visits will dedicate equal time to education about both the categorical residency and PSP programs.
