The Center of Aging is in its pre-opening phase. The clinical team being assembled is small by design, built around a resident-supervised care model rather than a traditional multi-physician group practice. The incoming physician will work closely with two supervising physicians and a standing support team from day one.
Bilal Rayes, MD Associate Program Director, Internal Medicine Residency Program at San Antonio Regional Hospital. Dr. Rayes oversees the residency program that anchors the Center of Aging and serves as the primary physician contact for the new clinic. He is directly involved in candidate selection and clinic development.
Sara Khan, MD Clinic co-supervisor and operational lead for the Center of Aging. Dr. Khan works alongside Dr. Rayes on clinic oversight and is a key stakeholder in the interview and onboarding process.
| Role | Count | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Internal Medicine Residents | 4 | Rotating residents supervised by the attending physician; mix of first, second, and third-year residents |
| Nurse Practitioner | 1 | Works 4 days per week; manages an independent patient panel |
| Medical Assistants | 3 | Dedicated to clinic patient care |
| Front Office Staff | 2 | Patient intake and scheduling |
| Office Manager | 1 | On-site; handles pre-authorization and administrative coordination |
Dr. Rayes described the culture directly: the group values physicians who are invested in teaching, adaptable to real-world clinic variability, and committed to building residents up rather than leaning on them as support staff. The clinic is deliberately structured to give the attending physician substantial team support so that clinical focus can remain on education and patient oversight rather than volume. This is a growing environment, and the incoming physician will have a meaningful role in shaping how the center operates from the ground up.
