Education and Training
Residents
The UT Southwestern Medical Center Family Medicine Residency is unique in that it offers the best of both the community and University Hospital settings for learning. Residents train in Parkland Hospital, UT Southwestern University Hospitals, Texas Health Resources Presbyterian Hospital Dallas and Children’s Healthâ„ Children’s Medical Center, as well as numerous outpatient locations in the community. This is beneficial because graduates learn in both the intense training environment of teaching hospitals and in the real world of the community.
Our practices at Texas Health Dallas and the Parkland Family Medicine Clinic provide residents with an outstanding, well-rounded training experience working with both insured and underserved patient populations. We work with a diverse array of patients and do not discriminate based on race, age, religion, ability, marital status, sexual orientation, sex or gender identity.
