Wellness
Maintaining your physical and mental wellbeing throughout medical training is essential to your success. Our student wellness (BCM LIFE) and resident / fellow (BCM BeWell) programs are designed to support you at every step of your journey.
I could just tell during my interview that Baylor College of Medicine was a really special place. When I met the students, that’s when it kind of cinched for me – just getting to experience the community that they built and how much every student really cared about the success of their classmates.
