UT Southwestern House Staff Council
House Staff Council
The House Staff Council (HSC) is a representative organization serving the residents and fellows at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Our mission is to improve patient care and graduate medical education by facilitating communication between the residents, the university, the hospitals, and our community.
The council is composed of delegates from residency and fellowship programs across clinical departments. Trainees are encouraged to connect with their program representatives to address concerns, share opportunities, and celebrate accomplishments.
The council is led by three leaders and three alternatives and includes representatives from the following clinical departments:
