Our curriculum is dynamic and is continuously aligned with the needs of Texas citizens and the goals of our healthcare system. Family medicine residents here in Garland graduate with demonstrated competence in population health management and continuous quality improvement. In addition our residents develop a keen sense of the importance of patient satisfaction. They work with physician’s assistants and are active managers of the Patient Centered Medical Home. Residents assume leadership roles in clinic and hospital operations

 

I am pleased that you have taken the time to review our website. The process of choosing a residency is time consuming and expensive. We try to make the process of residency selection as efficient as possible through use of this website, our clinical clerkships and interviews. We want you to have all the information you need, to choose the family medicine residency that matches your expectations. As part of the application process, we encourage you to get to know our residents and our faculty. Though the interview schedule is designed to give you that opportunity, you do not have to wait for the interview to get to know us. Formal clerkships are encouraged and informal visits are welcomed. Please take the time to study this website and if possible visit our residency in Garland, Texas. We have a lot to offer!

 

Our unopposed Family Medicine Residency is based in Baylor Medical Center of Garland, a 263 bed hospital with more than 65,000 emergency room visits per year. The medical problems of our patient population and the resources of this Baylor system hospital offer a rich learning environment for residents and medical students. In addition to training here in Garland which is on the north side of Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, our residents rotate to Baylor University Medical Center for Neonatology, and to Children’s Medical Center of Dallas for both inpatient and emergency pediatrics experience.

 

We are fortunate to have the strong support of two of the largest groups of family physicians in North Texas: Family Healthcare Associates and Family Medical Center of Garland. In addition to support from family physicians in our community, we have over 50 private sub-specialty preceptors that participate in the curriculum. The hospital administration and all of the medical staff of Baylor Medical Center at Garland are strongly supportive of the education mission of the residency program and treat the residents as colleagues and friends.

 

We have assembled one of the best faculties in the state of Texas. Faculty members represent the professional spectrum from those recently out of residency to individuals with more than thirty years of clinical experience. We have developed an academic environment that is both stimulating and rewarding. Our residents participate in a wide variety of scholarly works including case reports, poster presentations, and clinical research. Model family physicians of the future must be able to navigate the seas of clinical evidence and bring pertinent information to bear on each clinical encounter. We believe that the scholarly skills you acquire here at Baylor Family Medicine Residency will serve you and your patients wherever you practice medicine.

 

We are a cohesive group that focuses on service to our patients and to each other. The faculty shares an unparalleled enthusiasm for teaching and a commitment to the success of each resident in the program.

 

Graduates of this program are competent, ethical and compassionate physicians who have established habits of continuous learning, and quality improvement. Come see for yourself!
