Trinity School of Medicine students have the opportunity to participate in clinical rotations within the Houston Healthcare system in Warner Robins Georgia as well as with our additional partnering hospitals in the surrounding area, and also in Baltimore, Maryland and the west coast of California. Houston Healthcare’s facilities, include the acute care Houston Medical Center, Perry Hospital, and the Houston Healthcare Pavilion. The HHC Pavilion houses the Houston Healthcare residency program, as well as the Trinity Medical Education Center..
The expansion of Trinity’s clerkship program to include Baltimore, Maryland and the west coast of California further increases the options available to our students. Such versatility in rotation sites gives students a broader exposure to diverse patient populations, medical conditions, and healthcare systems. This diversity is essential for cultivating adaptable, well-rounded physicians.
For students with an interest in Surgery or Internal Medicine, our partner hospitals in Baltimore that provide residency programs in these fields can be an invaluable stepping stone. Selecting rotations at these facilities offers a wealth of benefits, including the potential for building professional networks and gaining insight into the residency experience.
To ensure a seamless and efficient process, all rotations are meticulously scheduled by our dedicated clerkship administrators. With a focus on individualized attention, our students benefit from a low preceptor-to-student ratio during their rotations. They also have the unique advantage of completing their full 48 weeks of required elective rotations in one location, eliminating the need to relocate or wait for rotation slots to become available. This not only enhances their quality of life but also minimizes the cost of living. Additionally, Trinity offers a diverse array of away electives in numerous specialties, hosted in programs located across the country.
“When asked if I would attend Trinity again, I state 'absolutely, 100% I would do it again.' I promise your training at Trinity School of Medince will prepare you for your life's work.”

Located just 80 miles south of Atlanta, Warner Robins is an emerging hub of medical education, centered around Houston Healthcare (HHC). HHC has grown from a single community hospital in Warner Robins to an integrated healthcare system consisting of seven separate entities serving 300,000 people annually. Its two fully-accredited acute care medical facilities have a combined capacity of 282 beds.
Trinity has partnered with HHC in a long-term affiliation agreement, under which Trinity students will experience priority access to the clinical training resources at HHC and its affiliated physician network.
Trinity’s clerkship program has expanded to include rotation options in Baltimore, Maryland. Students now have the flexibility to undertake all or part of their clinical rotations in Baltimore. Students interested in Surgery and/or Internal Medicine residencies may choose to rotate through our hospital partner that has those residency programs. Rotating with residents may enhance a student’s ability to match into these specialties across the US. Some rotations may have an add-on cost to tuition due to the competitiveness of the rotation, but we keep the cost as affordable as possible. Some rotations do have attendance limitations so students must plan in advance. Trinity’s clerkship rotations are structured to provide valuable experience and broaden students’ understanding of diverse patient care settings. This location is particularly advantageous for our students from the Northeast, offering them the ability to complete rotations within a closer proximity to home with many transportation options. Educational equivalence is maintained by having weekly case-based learning experiences.
We are expanding our rotation opportunities with a new site on the West Coast in California. Starting January 2025, students will have the chance to gain valuable experience at several esteemed hospitals.
We are thrilled to offer these new opportunities and look forward to enhancing our students’ educational experiences.
