Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center and the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU offer a General Surgery Residency, a five-year program that is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). As a resident in our program, you'll gain robust procedural experience and comprehensive academic knowledge that will prepare you for any surgical career. In addition to your training in general surgery, we specialize in cardiothoracic, head and neck, urologic and transplant services.
We accept three general surgery residents per year.
The General Surgery residency program is committed to providing a comprehensive learning experience by properly training physicians to provide high-quality surgical care to a diverse community. Residents will be taught the values of respect, ethics, compassion, and professionalism. The program will provide residents with the opportunity to participate in hands-on learning, engage in both clinical and operative experiences, and be taught by dedicated faculty members to become well-qualified physicians.
The following program aims are guided by the mission statement of the Baylor All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth General Surgery Residency Program:
The general surgery block schedule follows a monthly rotation for the first 3 years and a bimonthly rotation for the last 2 years.
The Acute Care Surgery or ACS service is both our emergency general surgery and trauma service. This service’s patient population comes principally from in-house consultations, whether from the Emergency Department or from medicine inpatient services. However, there is an increasing practice of elective and outpatient cases. The ACS service has a dedicated OR (Room 1) and is in the midst of a growing robotic caseload. Finally, medical students and Anesthesia residents also rotate through the ACS service. General Surgery Resident collaboration and ability to teach is appreciated and highly encouraged.
This rotation on the Anesthesia service provides an excellent opportunity for our residents to place monitoring lines and to intubate patients under a controlled setting. Additionally, this is your chance to learn about anesthesia during surgery as well as learning how to place nerve blocks post operatively. Lastly, there will be other learners on this rotation, including TY and EM residents, as well as CRNA trainees who will also be seeking to perform procedures. This rotation may teach you to be respectfully assertive.
The Breast Reconstructive rotation will include cases that are performed at the Main OR as well as at Andrews Women’s Hospital. Please familiarize yourself with their OR prior to starting this rotation. Many of the breast cancer cases are combined with reconstructive surgery so, in addition, this will be a mini-Plastics rotation as well.
The Cardiothoracic or CT service has been rapidly growing over the past 5 years, and includes both cardiac cases (CABGs, valve replacements, e.g.) and thoracic procedures (lung resections, VATS, transthoracic hiatal hernia repairs, etc.). Robotic approaches are also flourishing on this service. The CT service has two dedicated ORs (Rooms 15 & 16).
The Colorectal Surgery or CRS service, like many service lines, performs most of their cases robotically. The CRS service in most hospitals set the bar with regard to ERAS application. Please do your part on this service by making sure we are ERAS compliant with these patients.
The Endoscopy rotation, lead by our GI colleagues, was included to give our third-year residents the exposure and experience necessary to meet the minimum number of upper and lower endoscopic cases required for graduation. Combined with the endoscopic experiences on both the Colorectal Surgery and MIS services, you should be well prepared for your Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery (FES) exam.
The Head & Neck Surgery (H&N or ENT) service is the busiest service line (by surgical volume) not only at BASMC, but also in the country. In addition to bread & butter H&N cases (thyroidectomies, parathyroidectomies), residents will participate in complex procedures which includes principles of plastic surgery, upper GI surgery and neurosurgery. The team is staffed by fellows and various APPs. Their patients are generally taken care of by the medical intensivists in the ICU and a hospitalist service on the floor. There are H&N surgeries just about daily with multiple rooms running (2+) from Monday through Thursday.
The HPB service is a growing service at BAS. Unlike transplant, HPB cases are scheduled and thus you will have amble time to prepare. HPB cases are performed using open, robotic and laparoscopic techniques.
The Minimally Invasive Surgery or MIS service is led by our Core Faculty member, Dr. Garcia. Most surgeries are outpatient, but there will be some combination cases with our H&N service. Dr. Garcia also performs a number of endoscopies so this will be a great opportunity to gain experience in this discipline (and requirement). Finally, this rotation also included outpatient cases performed at Baylor Surgical Hospital and Baylor Surgicare. A weekly list of upcoming cases will be provided for the Baylor Surgical Hospital.
This combined rotation will give residents exposure to general orthopedic, spine and neurosurgery cases. Orthopedics has a dedicated OR (room 2) and there will be some neurosurgery cases at the Baylor Surgical Hospital down the street. Please familiarize yourself with this center.
Cook Children’s is a busy stand-alone pediatric hospital in Fort Worth that has been rapidly expanding over the past decade. Residents from other surgical programs rotate at Cook’s as well. Resident call schedule will be determined when you are on service. Vacation will not be allowed while on this rotation.
This rotation is led by Dr. Freeman, who serves as Director of Surgical Critical Care. Residents will be involved in ICU care for trauma, general surgery, transplant, and critically ill patients including complex cardiac mechanical support like LVAD and ECMO.
The Transplant service is among the busiest on campus. It is a multidisciplinary service, and residents will have an opportunity to work with many consultants. In addition to transplants, residents will be involved in off campus procurements as well as general surgery cases on transplant patients. Transplant has a dedicated OR (room 17).
The Trauma service at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth is a busy Level 1 trauma center. Residents will have an excellent experience there. Note that residents from other surgical programs rotate at JPS as well. Resident coverage is thru 24 hours shifts with your team. Vacation will not be allowed while on this rotation.
The Urology service is one of the busier ones on campus. Procedures vary from cystoscopies to radical nephrectomies to complex urologic cases including ileal conduits and bladder reconstructions.
The Vascular service is a rapidly growing service line with a breadth of cases, from AVF creations to CEA to AAA repairs. We have a dedicated Hybrid OR (Room 9) equipped for X-ray imaging and endovascular surgery.
Every Friday will be our didactic/educational day and will typically be as follows:
We use the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) to electronically accept residency applications, letters of recommendations, dean’s letters, transcripts and other credentials directly from your medical school.
We participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and abide by its policies.
In order to be considered for the program, applicants must submit the following materials:
* Step 1 and Step 2 results are mandatory.
Please note: We are not currently accepting foreign medical graduates.
Learn more about Baylor Scott & White's housestaff appointment eligibility, including guidelines for international medical graduates.
Our dedicated faculty, with diverse expertise and a passion for teaching, offers invaluable mentorship and our talented residents bring enthusiasm and fresh perspectives to patient care. Together, they create a supportive community committed to excellence in medical education and compassionate care.
