In May, nearly 300 graduates of UT Southwestern’s Medical School and Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences celebrated earning their degrees. Students returned to campus for in-person commencement ceremonies for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic caused cancellation of on-site graduations in 2020. UTSW medical students consistently match for residencies at some of the top-ranked medical programs in the nation, while UT Southwestern is ranked among the top 20 graduate schools for biological sciences by U.S. News & World Report. In December 2020, the largest class of UTSW School of Health Professions students to date – nearly 150 – celebrated their graduation in a virtual ceremony.
