As a teaching hospital for Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children’s has a high standard of learning and achievement for all employees. Employees set professional development goals to continually sharpen their skills and enrich their workplace. In fact, learning begins the moment a new employee arrives

Texas Children’s Learning Academy provides high-quality training right here on our campus. 3 tracks – Pride in Performance for all employees, Family-Centered Care for clinical staff and High-Performance Leadership for leaders – ensure targeted training and development for all our employees.

Employees also are encouraged to seek outside learning and networking opportunities. We offer generous financial support to encourage continuous learning.

We believe there’s an art to caring for children and families that goes beyond science. Programs are available to help nurses without pediatric backgrounds make the transition into a rewarding new experience.
