The Flame asks Houston native Umesh D. Oza, MD, former program director of the Baylor University Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, Radiology Residency and current vice-chair of Radiology, five questions about his time teaching at Baylor University Medical Center and his passions outside of medicine.
Lyndsey Harper, MD, FACOG, has an early story familiar to many who enter the field of medicine. “I was one of those kids that always wanted to be a doctor,” she says. “I loved science, and it seemed to match my skill set.”
However, after becoming a practicing physician, her journey took a turn down a road unfamiliar to most in the field: CEO of a start-up.
There is something quintessentially American about children following their parents into the family business. Even in the highly competitive, unique field of healthcare, having a son or daughter follow doctor mom or doctor dad into medicine is not unusual. What is unusual is five members of the same family–representing different specialties–working at the same hospital and even on the same cases. But for the past several years, it’s been a dynamic that Baylor University Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, has been fortunate to have in the Lichliter’s.
Dear Baylor Alumni:
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to our 2nd annual Baylor University Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, Medical Education Alumni Picnic, Saturday, September 28th. Alumni and their families are invited to spend the afternoon where it all started here at Baylor University Medical Center at the beautiful Landry Park. All ages are welcome to attend and enjoy lunch, yard games, bounce house, music and much more. This reunion picnic will also include Faculty and current Housestaff from all the programs.
Below are two novel thoracic aorta trials being conducted at Baylor Scott & White – The Heart Hospital Plano. These trials leverage our multi-disciplinary team approach, which brings Cardiothoracic and Vascular surgeons together in our TAA clinic for collaborative, simultaneous visits with each patient. This approach has proven time and again to better inform decisions surrounding patient care plans and help produce stronger outcomes.
