Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Baylor College of Medicine (Temple) Program
About This Program
With a faculty to resident ratio of 12:11, our residents benefit from one-on-one learning. The high volume of skin cancers seen by Baylor Scott & White Health in Central Texas allows our residents to perform Mohs layers, grafts and flaps - often as the primary surgeon. Our residents have the benefit of hands-on surgical training through their residency. Our continuity clinic, which begins during PGY2, provides residents the opportunity to follow their own panel of patients.
