Yesterday, we went to Nix Medical Center in downtown San Antonio. It was built in 1930, and has been deemed a historical building in downtown. Their business model is unique especially because they are a free standing hospital and have to compete with giant hospitals in the city. I was most intrigued by the resident who is a Trinity grad. He wanted to get a good feel for the hospital when he first started his residency so he spent a night as a "secret shopper". He said he learned more than he could have just walking around. Definitely something I want to consider when I get into my residency.
