How do I arrange an observership or externship at BCM?
A variety of legal, regulatory, and educational considerations greatly constrain our ability to offer observership experiences. Limited opportunities are made available through the Texas Children’s Hospital International Operations Office. Please contact Ms. Claudia Flores (cmflores@texaschildrens.org) for further information. Observers are strictly limited to observing the activities of the regular medical staff. They may not be involved in “hands-on” patient care activities, such as performing history and physical examinations. Externships (i.e. experiences that include patient care) are not permitted under Texas state law.
