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 University College 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.
