Since 1973
The CHRISTUS Health/Texas A&M University Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine-Family Medicine Residency Program, rooted in excellence, has been training outstanding clinicians equipped to deliver the full spectrum of care while empowering residents with meaningful autonomy. Sitting in the heart of Corpus Christi, our program is a place to grow clinically and professionally. Our supportive community and commitment to national-caliber training help each resident launch the next stage of their career.
We are a Patient-Centered Medical Home

The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is a model of care that aims to transform the delivery of comprehensive primary care to children, adolescents, and adults. The PCMH delivers primary care that is oriented towards the whole person. This can be achieved by partnering with patients and families through an understanding of and respect for culture, unique needs, preferences, and values.
