Baylor College of Medicine is recruiting qualified applicants for an open one-year position for training in the Acute Care Surgery Fellowship. This fellowship was established in 2023 and follows one-year of ACGME-approved Surgical Critical Care training.

This second year training program provides a robust clinical and operative experience. Fellows are appointed as clinical instructors and rotate between Ben Taub Hospital and Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center every two months. The year is structured to provide faculty support and mentorship to the fellows to foster development and progression to independence. As a major Level 1 Trauma Center with approximately 3500 trauma admissions and 28% penetrating injury rate, Ben Taub provides significant exposure to complex trauma and robust emergency general surgery from an underserved patient population. Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center has a robust and growing emergency general surgery service with many medically and surgically complex patients and diseases. To supplement this experience, fellows have additional operative experience through affiliated faculty in the community for specialty cases such as sternotomy, cardiac surgery, carotid endarterectomy, and femoral-popliteal bypass as well as ASSET cadaver course to ensure proficiency with these less common exposures. During the two year fellowship, to foster development of the fellows in alignment with their career goals, they will engage in mentorship with research faculty, ICU directors, trauma medical director, and/or educational leaders, and fellows can participate in early career development programs for education and research through BCM.
