Medical Student Rotations

The tradition of training medical students at CHRISTUS Health Good Shepherd began in 2011, with the first group of six dedicated third-year students from Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine at the University of North Texas Health Science Center (TCOM). Since then, we have expanded the same rewarding relationship with Texas A&M School of Medicine, Sam Houston State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and various other medical schools throughout the nation.

The rotations at CHRISTUS Health Good Shepherd provide students with hands-on experience and exposure to various specialties. During rotations, medical students work with healthcare professionals, participate in patient rounds, attend lectures and workshops, and engage in hands-on procedures under supervision. his immersive experience provides students with a glimpse into the daily life of a physician. Our medical students typically undergo rotations in various specialties including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and more. Each rotation offers unique learning opportunities and challenges, contributing to a well-rounded medical education. CHRISTUS Health Good Shepherd strives to provide rotations that shape future physicians by allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world clinical settings. These experiences help students develop essential skills such as patient interaction, clinical reasoning, and teamwork.
