Residency

“It is my privilege to extend a warm welcome from our Residency Program. We are a family of residents, faculty, and staff committed to excellence in patient care, and we work deliberately to advance that care through education, leadership and research.

Our foundation rests on a wonderfully diverse clinical experience – we train at both the busiest Level 1 Trauma center in the country (MHH-TMC) and the busiest Emergency Center in Houston (LBJ General Hospital). Our practice is punctuated by high acuity and underpinned by a deep commitment to the underserved. We are proud to have that inform all that we do as we celebrate each other’s successes and grow in each other’s failures.

We invest heavily in both your professional and personal development – our residents are trained by a remarkable group of nationally recognized clinician educators and scientists and they are supported by a remarkable group of human beings. I routinely find myself thinking that I couldn’t have found better people to work with, or a more amazing place to work in. Please take a look around and thank you for visiting with us.“
