Why Train at UT Southwestern
Outstanding Faculty
Our faculty provide a combination of practical experiences and formal training to help fellows develop fundamental knowledge and skills for a successful career as an EMS medical director. They include:
- The EMS Medical Director for BioTel
- The founders and leaders of the annual Gathering of the Eagles EMS conference
- Physicians renowned for their contributions to prehospital care
- Paramedics, physical therapists, and firefighters
Under these distinguished educators, our fellows become knowledgeable in the medical, operational, and administrative aspects of EMS medicine as practiced in the prehospital arena in both urban and rural/suburban systems, and can apply these principles to any EMS system.
