Welcome to the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas. Baptist Hospitals is a 500-bed community hospital serving seven surrounding counties with a population in excess of 550,000. We are a Level IV trauma center and are accredited as primary care centers for both stroke and chest pain. In collaboration with Acadian EMS, we are the home base of an air medical program supporting the entirety of the Southeast Texas region. Our oncology program is accredited as a Comprehensive Community Program through the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, as a Comprehensive Breast Center by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers and as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology.

During your three years in our program, you will be exposed to the care complexity found in our cardiac and medical surgical ICUs, and an emergency department with 75,000 annual visits. Our goal is to not only produce well-rounded internists prepared to independently practice medicine immediately following residency, but also to prepare internists to successfully match and complete competitive fellowship training programs. In addition, we have partnered with Lamar University to offer our residents the opportunity to pursue advanced, graduate-level degrees in business, public health, forensics and medical informatics.
