- 2017 – The residency program expands to a 14-position per year program with a new partnership with Texas Health Resources Presbyterian Hospital Dallas (THD). This is the first academic program to launch in an alliance with Texas Health Resources, resulting in a new Family Medicine Residency clinic and many unique educational experiences for our residents. The program forms two clinical tracks:
