UTMB Pediatric residents have an array of clinical sites where their training is completed. Most hospital rotations are based in Galveston at John Sealy Hospital, which includes inpatient and neonatal services. Our clinics are spread over the Gulf Coast area and include Galveston’s Primary Care Pavilion, League City’s UTMB Pediatrics Bay Colony, and Webster’s UTMB Clear Lake Blossom locations. Residents also have experiences in the Clear Lake Campus location for inpatient and ED services as well as other specialty clinics in Galveston and the mainland. We are proud to continue growing our geographic scope in parallel with our department and UTMB.
