Welcome to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and the Department of Internal Medicine. From its origin a little over 50 years ago as a tiny group under the chairmanship of Dr. Tinsley R. Harrison, the department has grown steadily in size and national distinction. It has always sought to be academic in the fullest sense of the word, with no neglect of teaching, clinical care or scientific investigation. Its operating motto is simple: We want
|
|
to be better next year than we are this year. Nothing less. Nothing more.
Currently the faculty numbers 333 primary full-time faculty with 66 faculty from other departments holding secondary appointments. The primary faculty includes three members of the National Academy of Sciences and four members of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy. Its secondary faculty includes two Nobel laureates. Twenty-nine faculty are members of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and 22 are members of the Association of American Physicians. There are 154 house officers and 205 fellows in training.
Included in our web site are introductions to the past chairmen, Dr. Daniel Foster and Dr. Donald Seldin, our three vice chairmen Dr. Dwain Thiele, Dr. Gary Reed and Dr. Jonathan Weissler as well as the chiefs of each of our divisions. We will also provide links to the residency training program, and updated calendars and scheduled conferences, including Internal Medicine Grand Rounds.
Sincerely,
J. Gregory Fitz, M.D., Chairman
Department of Internal Medicine
The Donald W. Seldin Distinguished Chair in Internal Medicine
