Where We Work
While on medicine, our residents enjoy educational opportunities at four different hospitals. Predominantly medicine-pediatrics residents work at Ben Taub, our county hospital, or the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. Other educational opportunities are available at Baylor St. Luke's Hospital as well as MD Anderson Cancer Center. Baylor has one of the most heterogenous medicine training experiences available with opportunities at county, private and veteran's affairs facilities. We also serve a large immigrant population which only adds to the diversity.
