Faculty

The excellence of any educational institution is determined by the caliber of its faculty. At UT Southwestern, we have some of the best. Our faculty includes nationally known educators, clinicians, and scientists. Among our approximately 2,000 full-time and 640 part-time faculty members are:

• Nobel Prize winners
• Members of the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors attainable by an American scientist
• Members of the Institute of Medicine

"Faculty members are not only leaders in their respective fields, but they also have the ability to teach what they know in a compassionate, effective manner. They truly are top-notch. The faculty is what makes UT Southwestern such an amazing place for students to train," said Weilan Zuo, MD, class of 2011.

We’re among the country's leaders in terms of membership in scientific organizations such as the National Academy of Sciences, the Association of American Physicians, the Institute of Medicine, and the American Society for Clinical Investigation.

UT Southwestern graduates perennially identify the faculty—their teaching skills and accessibility—as one of the great strengths of our institution.

Educating Physicians Beyond Med School

Our faculty members continue to educate physicians beyond medical school. They annually train more than 1,300 clinical residents who are supplementing their MD education with postgraduate specialty and subspecialty training. Faculty members also provide continuing medical education about new techniques to physicians and other health professionals through seminars, teaching rounds, and instruction on and off campus.
