? Our section faculty provides compassionate,
comprehensive, clinical care to a diverse population in the
Houston Metropolitan area through our three Baylor
Medicine affiliates: Ben Taub Hospital, Baylor Saint

Affairs Medical Center. Over the last year, we have
expanded the number of critical care faculty to address the
increasing demands related to the COVID-19 pandemic and
created outpatient clinics to provide long-term care for
covid patients with Post Covid and Clinic at Home
programs. All pavilions have initiated new lung cancer SECTION CHIEF
screening programs. Our programs are nationally ranked as Ivan O. Rosas, MD

opportunities through multiple academic series, including Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep

positions nationally and across the college, several others received College education awards
including the prestigious Barbara and Corbin J. Robertson, Jr. Presidential Award for Excellence

Nature Communications, and Science Translational Medicine) and top-rated pulmonary
subspecialty journals (AJRCCM, ERJ, Chest, and AJRCMB). Our faculty successfully led
