Welcome
Driscoll Children’s Hospital is excited to offer a new residency program to serve the patient population of South Texas. Driscoll Children’s Hospital, Rio Grande Valley, is the only ACGME accredited pediatric residency serving a population of 1.44 million based on the 2025 U.S. census data. Our area includes Hidalgo, Cameron, Starr and Willacy counties. We are looking to recruit motivated students and future leaders to build a lasting legacy in the Rio Grande Valley.
At Driscoll Children’s Hospital RGV, residents will learn from a patient population of substantial volume with an abundance of diverse and unusual pathology. Driscoll has a commitment to strong academics and evidence-based medicine, reinforced by a warm and inviting culture.
We are fortunate to have friendly and dedicated hospital staff and teaching faculty who will participate in our resident’s educational experiences. As a new program within a hospital system that does not depend on residents for service, we are excited to continue to build a program that utilizes the capabilities of each resident, both in clinical work as well as program administration and hospital partnership. As a health system, Driscoll is team-oriented in our advocacy, quality improvement, and research efforts, and are excited to add residents to these efforts in the Rio Grande Valley.
We know residency is challenging—but you could not find a better opportunity to learn in a supportive environment and a state-of-the-art facility, not to mention the warm and vibrant culture offered by the Rio Grande Valley. We hope you will consider joining us to build something amazing and leave a lasting mark on Driscoll and the Rio Grande Valley.
