Graduate Medical Education

The learning process encompasses more than the students’ four years in medical school. All graduates will continue to expand their knowledge and refine their skills by seeking further supervised medical training.

Graduate Medical Education programs provide physicians the opportunity to prepare for practice in a medical specialty. Residency and fellowship programs focus on the development of clinical skills and professional competencies.

The Medical School conducts its resi-dency training programs at hospitals and clinics affiliated with The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. Carefully organized and evaluated instruction in the various disciplines of medicine is offered. These accredited programs are recognized toward fulfillment of the requirements of the respective specialty boards. The Medical School programs participate in the National Residency Matching Program. Information and applications for residency or fellowship programs are available from the program directors listed in the American Medical Association (AMA) Directory of Residency Training Programs and the Fellowship and Residency Interactive Electronic Data (FRIEDA) program.

Sub-specialty residency programs are open to application by physicians who have completed their general residency training.

The Medical School offers residency programs in the following disciplines: Anesthesiology, Dermatology, Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Occupational Medicine, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Orthopaedics, Pathology, Pediatrics, Plastic Surgery, Psychiatry, Child Psychiatry, Diagnostic Radiology, General Surgery, Colon and Rectal Surgery, Urology, Oral Surgery, Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
