Baylor College of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

Baylor's OB/GYN residency is a large academic, tertiary/quaternary program anchored in the Texas Medical Center, splitting resident time primarily between Ben Taub Hospital (a level 1 trauma safety-net county hospital serving a diverse, underserved Harris County population) and Texas Children's Pavilion for Women (a high-volume referral center with fetal surgery and placenta accreta spectrum expertise). Additional rotations at Baylor St. Luke's, Texas Children's Hospital, The Woman's Hospital, and the VA give residents exposure across subspecialty-dense environments, including gynecologic oncology, urogynecology, MFM, REI, and pediatric/adolescent gynecology, with a night-float call structure supporting substantial resident autonomy under attending supervision. Research is a graduation requirement, supported by dedicated funding, a named research day, and resident-mentor publication output spanning basic science to clinical/translational work, reflecting the broader research infrastructure of BCM. A fourth-year elective option and structured exposure to global health work through BCM's international programs signal a program oriented toward producing well-rounded generalist surgeons as well as fellowship-bound subspecialists.
