One of the pillars of residency training in The Menninger Department of Psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine is the development of clinical excellence. To do so, residents rotate at a wide array of affiliate institutions in the Texas Medical Center and Greater Houston area. These include the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Harris Health Systems (a county hospital system), including Ben Taub Hospital, Baylor Psychiatry Clinic, The Harris Center, the Harris County Jail, Covenant House, Legacy Community Health, The Women’s Home, and several private, not for profit, hospital affiliations in both general and child psychiatry such as The Menninger Clinic, Houston Methodist and Texas Children's Hospital.

The central administrative offices of the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Baylor Psychiatry Clinic are located in the Lee and Joe Jamail Specialty Care Center in the Texas Medical Center.

As part of training, residents will have the opportunity to work in a variety of settings in all the main areas of psychiatry.
