Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Baylor College of Medicine Temple Program

Program Identity & Fit

Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Baylor College of Medicine (Temple) is a university-affiliated, high-volume diagnostic radiology program housed within a 640-bed Level I trauma tertiary teaching hospital, part of Texas's largest not-for-profit health system. The four-year curriculum offers substantial procedural breadth (four angiography suites, five CT scanners, four MRI scanners) and multiple named subspecialty pathways—Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR), a 16-month Nuclear Medicine certification track, and a 15-month Pediatric Radiology pathway—allowing residents to layer subspecialty certification onto core DR training. Clinically oriented research (with dedicated months and staff mentorship) is built into training, and stated program goals explicitly target both private-practice readiness and competitive subspecialty fellowship placement, including academic radiology practice. The program values residents who progress toward independent, procedure-capable practice, evidenced by structured graduated autonomy and a 100% ABR pass rate.
