Tara J Harris, M.D., F.A.C.O.G. serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston. She practices clinically at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women (6651 Main Street, Suite F320) specializing in gynecological care through Gynecology and Obstetric Specialists. Her professional affiliations include the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology (since 2007) and American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopy (since 2011).

Dr. Harris's research centers on minimally invasive gynecological techniques and pain management applications. Her work explores laparoscopic surgical innovations and chronic pain conditions within women's health, particularly examining intersections between gynecological care and systemic pain management approaches. Clinical interests emphasize evidence-based interventions for complex gynecological conditions.

Publication analysis reveals interdisciplinary research bridging nephrology and pain medicine, notably her 2012 study on hemodialysis patient outcomes. This demonstrates methodological expertise in longitudinal health outcome assessment and cross-specialty collaboration, with emerging focus on pain-sleep-survival relationships in chronic disease populations.

Professional recognition includes:

• American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology membership (2007-present)
• American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopy membership (2011-present)

Her clinical mentorship focuses on resident training in gynecological procedures at Baylor, with departmental responsibilities including patient care coordination and procedural skills instruction. Current activities emphasize integrating laparoscopic techniques into standard gynecological practice while advancing pain management protocols.
