Why UTSW?

<sup>"I am very grateful to complete this residency and have truly appreciated support from my mentors and advisors. I have made lasting friendships and will always appreciate the opportunity to have trained here."

"I think this is a great residency program and had the supportive environment that I was looking for."

"This program was my first choice rank and I'm glad I ended up here. I felt very supported. It was a great opportunity to work with underserved communities. I hope to take with me what I've learned and continue to learn more in my future career."

"Training was very comprehensive. I feel very comfortable with most procedures, I am confident in my medical knowledge and clinical abilities, and also reassured in my ability to interpret clinical data."

"Residency during a pandemic with two young children was a new level hardship for me, but I received the most support anyone could hope for from their residency program. I was very nervous returning to residency after spending 5 years in the military and not having practiced inpatient medicine for almost 7 years. I am leaving feeling very competent and confident as an attending physician. I haven't for a single moment regretted how I structured my rank list. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much."

"This program was life changing. I had so many opportunities to learn. I really appreciate the independent learning style this program provided. I had the ability for a well-rounded positive experience without the fear of failure."

"I loved my time in residency, if I could go back in time I would rank UTSW 1st again! Thank you for letting me train here! Thank you for supporting me breastfeeding/pumping!"

"I felt I was part of the team from the first step in the building and am grateful for the opportunities afforded to me to learn and mature into a well-rounded physician."</sup>
