From the President

Modern medicine is at its best when innovation and discovery intersect with patient care. At UT Southwestern, that convergence is by design. As an academic medical center with some of the country's foremost minds, we push the frontiers of medicine and science while bringing the latest advances to patient care. We're not just keeping pace with medicine; we're delivering the future of medicine, today.

UT Southwestern exemplifies what a top-performing academic medical center can and should be — a diverse community of exceptionally talented people working in partnership with one another to advance all facets of our mission to educate, discover, and heal.

The tireless pursuit of our mission requires a culture enriched and sustained by our most important resource — our people. Throughout our more than 80-year history, generations of physicians, scientists, staff, and learners have embraced UT Southwestern's mission and core values of excellence, innovation, teamwork, and compassion. Their commitment and dedication to the continuous pursuit of discovery and quality patient care have built the reputation we enjoy today.

Now, as a new member of the UT Southwestern community, it is your responsibility to help uphold and enhance our reputation as a premier academic medical center and maintain the trust of our patients, their families, and all those who support us. Thank you in advance for your contributions to UT Southwestern Medical Center and for the work you will do to en­able the delivery of our mission.
