Congratulations to our Pediatric Resident Graduates!

On Saturday June 15,  The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio celebrated its second class of Baylor College of Medicine Resident graduates.

The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio, a world-class, freestanding hospital, joined Baylor College of Medicine in 2013  to ensure that the children of San Antonio and South Texas have access to world-class pediatric care.

Residents worked alongside faculty eager to learn and to help build not only an incredible children’s hospital, but to continue laying the foundation for a brilliant teaching institution. The 13 resident graduates were among more than 1,000 applicants to apply for the three-year program they started in 2016.
