Baylor College of Medicine Program
About This Program
The clinical training is based in three hospitals within the Texas Medical Center: Ben Taub Hospital, Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, and the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. The diversity of clinical training provided by these three large and very different sites allows for experience in virtually all aspects of pulmonary and critical care medicine. In addition, research options - both bench and bedside - at Baylor College of Medicine are numerous.
