Family Medicine Residency

Sobre el programa

Inpatient service

The family medicine hospital service is run by our faculty and residents. We admit patients who receive their primary care in the surrounding Baylor Scott & White family medicine clinics. It is a comprehensive experience to further training in inpatient medicine while maintaining a focus on continuity of care.

Outpatient service

On the outpatient side, residents enjoy the variety of patients seen in the family medicine residency clinic, which leads to a strong foundation in primary care. Patient-centered teams help residents manage their own panel of patients. In the Baylor Scott & White Health system, we benefit from a well integrated EMR and network of specialty physicians to provide high quality care.

horario de llamadas

There is minimal call for our residents, who cover the family medicine hospital service in day and night shifts. There are in house weekend calls shared by the PGY-2 class and no call or night shifts in the PGY-3 year.

Conferences

Noon lectures

The family medicine conference is held twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday starting at noon. Topics are varied and evidence-based, covering the entire spectrum of medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, behavioral science and psychiatry. Lunch is provided.

Afternoon workshops

The second Thursday of the month is set aside for resident business and learning. During this time, the residents have protected time with the chief resident and program director to discuss any burning issues of the day.

This afternoon also includes learning time for workshops like suturing, pulmonary function tests or treadmill testing. On special occasions residents may head over to the simulation center, where residents can practice code situations in a safe but realistic environment.

Following the workshop is a case conference or journal club.
