Training the next generation of doctors and nurses to combat Texas’ healthcare shortage. Your support expands vital residency programs and strengthens patient care.

Investing in the future of healthcare

At Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth, we are committed to training the next generation of healthcare professionals through our Graduate Medical Education (GME) and Graduate Nurse Residency programs. These initiatives are critical in addressing the ongoing physician and nurse shortages in Texas and ensuring high-quality, patient-centered care for our community.

Meeting Texas’ growing healthcare needs

Texas faces a critical shortage of both physicians and nurses, ranking 47th in the nation for doctors per capita while also experiencing a statewide nursing workforce crisis. As the population continues to grow beyond 29 million residents, the demand for highly skilled healthcare providers has never been more urgent.

Baylor Scott & White – Fort Worth is leading the charge to combat this shortage by expanding residency training programs for both physicians and nurses. By training and retaining these essential professionals, we ensure that our community has access to excellent care for generations to come. It is anticipated that 60%-80% of the residents trained at Baylor Scott & White – Fort Worth will remain in the area to practice.

Graduate Medical Education: Training tomorrow’s physicians

GME, commonly referred to as residency, is the final stage of education for physicians before they enter independent practice. Residencies typically last 4-7 years, depending on the specialty.

Addressing the physician shortage

Fort Worth is home to two major medical schools—Texas Christian University and the University of North Texas Health Science Center School of Medicine—which together graduate 300 students annually. However, due to a limited number of residency programs in Texas, many of these students must leave the state to complete their training, reducing the likelihood that they will return to practice in Texas.

Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth is expanding its GME program to bridge this gap. Since welcoming its first Internal Medicine residents in July 2021, the program has grown to include Anesthesiology, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Transitional Year, and GI Fellowship programs, with a goal of training 150 residents by 2026.

Philanthropy’s role in GME expansion

Residency training is an expensive but vital investment in our healthcare system. While Medicare covers only a portion of the cost, charitable funding is essential to support:

  • Salaries for program directors and faculty
  • Accreditation and recruitment efforts
  • Classroom and training spaces for residents

Philanthropic gifts enable us to continue growing this program and training top-tier physicians who will serve Fort Worth and beyond.

Graduate Nurse Residency: Bridging the gap for new nurses

Newly graduated nurses enter the workforce with extensive knowledge but limited clinical experience. To ensure they transition smoothly into professional practice, our Graduate Nurse Residency Program provides structured training through onboarding and clinical immersion, competency validation, and specialized seminars.

This 12-month program, accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and recognized as a Department of Labor apprenticeship, helps nurses build confidence, competence, and long-term career success.

Why this program matters

Texas’ nursing shortage is worsening, with hospitals struggling to fill vacancies. The Graduate Nurse Residency Program enhances patient safety, job satisfaction, and retention rates, making it a crucial component of rebuilding the healthcare workforce.

However, expanding this program requires additional support. The cost for each new nurse to participate in the 12-month residency is $16,500, covering:

  • Hands-on training with experienced educators
  • Specialty skill development
  • Mentorship and career support

The impact of philanthropy

Both the Graduate Medical Education and Nurse Residency programs are made possible through philanthropy. Your investment in these initiatives directly addresses Texas’ healthcare workforce shortage, ensuring that Fort Worth has the best-trained doctors and nurses for the future.

By supporting these programs, you are changing lives—not only for the medical professionals who train with us but also for the thousands of patients they will serve throughout their careers.

Your gift today helps Baylor Scott & White – Fort Worth train exceptional physicians and nurses, securing a healthier tomorrow for our community.

Together, we can shape the future of healthcare in Texas.
