Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Program

The launch of a combined Internal Medicine/Pediatrics (Med/Peds) Residency Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center builds on the foundation of two exceptional, well-established categorical training programs in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. We accept four interns per year, alternating between Internal Medicine and Pediatrics rotations every three to four months.
