About Our Clinical Sciences Program

Trinity’s clinical sciences program, which encompasses Terms 5 through 10, provides students with an immersion into clinical medicine in both hospital and physician practice settings. This portion of students’ clinical education is provided in partnership with the Houston Healthcare system in central Georgia and partnering hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland. HHC facilities include two fully accredited acute care medical facilities, Houston Medical Center and Perry Hospital, as well as the Houston Healthcare Pavilion in Warner Robins, Georgia. The Houston Healthcare Pavilion is where the HHC residency program resides. Here, Trinity students preparing for and engaged in clerkships benefit from a dedicated learning center, complete with individual and group study spaces. 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.
