Welcome to the William Beaumont Army Medical Center GME medical student website. We invite you to learn about our medical center and encourage you to schedule a rotation with the training program of the specialty you may desire to pursue. We sponsor four ACGME accredited programs in Internal Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, General Surgery, and a Transitional Year program. HPSP recipients may perform rotations either on an active TDY status or as a civilian. We only sponsor Internal Medicine non-HPSP civilian students who are looking to learn and potentially apply to our VA sponsored civilian positions. For those HPSP students wishing to do a rotation in civilian status, we do have sleep rooms with showers and bathrooms available at no charge (These are for HPSP students only). The rooms have one bunk bed so we cannot promise a private room depending on how many students we have at any given time. All students doing a non-ADT rotation must have a Memorandum of Affiliation in place between WBAMC and the student’s medical school. Please contact our GME office to schedule a rotation.
Our 1.13 million-square-foot, world-class healthcare campus consists of a seven-story hospital serving as the inpatient hospital along with some supporting diagnostic sections, two outpatient clinic buildings, an administrative building, the clinical investigation research building, and a central utility support plant. The medical center has 135 hospital beds, 10 operating rooms and 30 specialty clinics. Fort Bliss, headquarters for the 1st Armored Division, encompasses 1.12 million square acres and the contiguous White Sands Missile Range is a whopping 3,200 square miles!
Supporting our GME training programs are the Simulation Center, Department of Clinical Investigation, and the Medical Library. Our simulation center has training capabilities to teach isolated tasks for Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery and Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery. The Simulation Center also has a wide variety of simulation equipment including ultrasound trainers and the Da Vinci robotic system trainer. The DCI has research support areas and administrative offices in a stand-alone building. Located in the administrative building on the second floor, the spacious medical library has computer workstations available for personal use and a printer for official printing. It also has the latest reference material and recent medical journals. In conjunction with the DHA Virtual Library, a large array of on-line reference materials are available.
Trainees eligible to rotate at WBAMC are enrolled in the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and the Health Professions Scholarship Program. HPSP students doing a non-ADT rotation must have a Memorandum of Affiliation in place between WBAMC and the student’s medical school.
