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

Program Identity & Fit

This is a five-year categorical urology program (one year of general surgery plus four years of clinical urology) based at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple, a 640-bed academic teaching hospital with a Level I trauma center affiliated with Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. The program is structurally research-integrated, requiring every resident to complete a case study, a retrospective study, and a prospective project intended for presentation and peer-reviewed publication, with dedicated research rotations built into the PGY-2/PGY-3 years and funding support for conference presentations. Clinical training spans subspecialty rotations including pediatric urology, urogynecology/reconstructive pelvic surgery, transplant, oncology, and endo/laparoscopic urology, with graduated autonomy culminating in an independent-functioning chief year and administrative responsibilities. The program values residents who can operate within a structured, mission-driven not-for-profit health system while contributing original clinical research, and it emphasizes community and outreach engagement through its visiting-student scholarship aimed at equitable healthcare access.
