Message from the Vice Chair
Vice Chair, Education
Education is central to our mission. Across our residency, fellowship, medical student, and specialized training programs, we are committed to fostering growth through feedback, advocacy, and innovation. Our goal is to provide purposeful learning experiences that help trainees develop into confident clinicians, educators, researchers, and leaders.
We believe education is a partnership. By combining thoughtful mentorship with progressive responsibility, we create an environment where learners are empowered to grow, contribute, and succeed. We continuously seek input from our trainees and faculty to strengthen our programs and expand opportunities that reflect the evolving needs of medicine.
The mentorship and support found throughout our department are complemented by a culture of academic excellence, compassion, professionalism, and collaboration. The diversity of experiences and perspectives within our community enriches learning and prepares trainees to care for the patients and populations we serve.
I am proud of the educational community we have built and invite you to explore the many programs, opportunities, and people that make the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern a remarkable place to learn, teach, and grow.
