Temple is a small town with a big hospital. The town is around 50,000 but Scott and White is a non-profit physician run HMO and hospital that serves 21 counties. There is very little traffic, very affordable housing, but not much in the way of night-life. We have a mall, a movie theater, Target, lots of restaurants, 2 gyms. Austin, Waco and Killeen all have better malls, eating places and night-life, and are 20-45 min away. Great public and private school districts nearby.
S&W is a private hospital affiliated with the Texas A&M med school. The OB/GYN program takes 4 each year. I think the faculty provide a well rounded experience. We have 2 MFMs, one Onc, two REs, and three UroGyns one of which is world renound, a PhD Embryologist who coordinates the research and around 10 generalists. They are all great teachers and work well with residents.
We just opened a brand new hospital with a new L&D. We get excellent training in forceps and vaccum deliveries. Our generalists are performing laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomies and very many vaginal hysterectomies. The Urogynecology department is growing by leaps and bounds, a 3 year fellowship program is just starting.
It is a great place to raise a family. The call schedule is one of the best in the country.
The website is www.sw.org follow the links to residency programs.
Let me know if you have any questions,
