see schedule omedical education is a crucial part of the bsw garland's mission. Being one of the nation's largest private teaching organizations, bsw garland annually trains residents and fellows in family medicine. These quality teaching programs add many dimensions to bsw garland's ability to serve patients. Residents in the organizations' program graduate with demonstrated competence in population health management, continuous quality improvement, and the importance of patient satisfaction. Residents work with physician's assistants and are active managers of the patient-centered medical home, often assuming leadership roles in clinic and the organization's operations. To help address the state's health care workforce shortage, the texas a&m health science center (tamhsc) college of medicine and bsw garland have joined forces to establish a clinical training program in dallas for students to complete clinical rotations in surgery, internal medicine, family medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, and obstetrics/gynecology at bsw garland and other clinical affiliates over their last two years of residency. While residents and fellows of bsw garland are not required to work for an affiliate of bswh, most remain in north texas upon completion of their program, providing a continuous supply of well-trained medical professionals for the region. During the fiscal year, bsw garland invested more than $2. 1 million in training 17 medical residents. Bsw garland and bsw mckinney are also committed to assisting with the preparation of future nurses at entry and advanced levels of the profession to establish a workforce of qualified nurses. Through the bswh's relationships with six north texas schools of nursing, both hospitals maintain strong affiliations with schools of nursing. During the fiscal year, the hospitals invested in training 208 nurses. Total unreimbursed cost of these programs was $690,023. Like physicians, nursing graduates trained at a system entity are not obligated to join the staff although many remain in the north texas area to provide top quality nursing services to many health care institutions.
