Baylor Family Medicine Residency at Garland

| |
The Baylor Family Medicine Residency at Garland is dedicated to teaching future family physicians how to serve their community by delivering safe, timely, effective and patient-centered healthcare. In our program, residents learn the modern practice of medicine in a setting of professionalism and continuous quality improvement.
In addition to the dedicated family medicine faculty, the Baylor Family Medicine Residency at Garland is enthusiastically supported by over fifty volunteer community physician preceptors and the staff of Baylor Medical Center at Garland. The two largest Family Medicine groups in Garland, Family Healthcare Associates and Family Medical Center of Garland, also teach residents and provide leadership to the program though service on the residency Governing Council and the Graduate Medical Education Committee.
The program curriculum includes didactic, block rotation and longitudinal formats. Residents learn how to care for patients in a complex healthcare system and are able to coordinate their patient's care across the continuum from the newborn nursery to the nursing home. The training is comprehensive yet flexible, allowing for emphasis on special areas of resident interest.
Our vision can be summed up easily: we seek to become the most sought after training program for Family Medicine in the Southwest. Integral to that vision is the fundamental belief that physicians must be ethical, compassionate, balanced and patient-centered in all their pursuits. Professionalism is the foundation upon which we train our residents in preventive health, adult medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, adolescent medicine, geriatrics, community medicine, rural medicine, sports medicine, and public health.
Instruction and hands-on experience allow residents to develop technical competence in procedures ranging from colposcopy to exercise stress testing. Experience in rural, suburban, urban and academic settings equips residents to make an informed choice about their own future practice style and location.
Our residents pursue a wide range of professional activities after graduation. Many enter suburban medical practice in private or hospital-sponsored groups; some establish practice in rural communities, while others enter fellowships or academic faculty positions.
$1 Million Endowment to Support Baylor Family Medicine Residency Program
A generous gift from local philanthropists, Linda and Mitch Hart, will fund the first endowed chair for a family medicine residency program in the Baylor Health Care System. The $1 million endowment will support the Perry E. Gross, M.D. Chair for Family Medicine which provides training for the chief resident of the Baylor Family Medicine Residency each year.
