The UT Southwestern Medical Center Family Medicine Residency is unique in that it offers the best of both the community and University Hospital settings for learning. Residents train in Parkland Hospital, UT Southwestern University Hospitals, Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas and Children’s Health℠ Children’s Medical Center as well as numerous outpatient locations in the community. This is beneficial because graduates learn in both the intense training environment of teaching hospitals and in the real world of the community.

Dr. Anthony Hang joined us this week as a family physician and Clinical Assistant Professor at our Richardson/Plano practice. Here are a few facts about Dr. Hang:
"I was born and raised in Chicago in a Vietnamese refugee family who came to the U.S. after the Vietnam War. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois, attended medical school at Lincoln Memorial University, and completed my Family Medicine residency at St. Louis University, where I served as chief resident. My professional interests include primary care, preventive medicine, and expanding access to healthcare through technology. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our toddler, Toby, as well as playing recreational basketball."
Welcome to the department!

💉 Interprofessional Learning in Action! 👩⚕️👨⚕️
Dr. Higbea and Texas Tech PharmD colleague, Dr. Eddy, along with p3 pharmacy students partnered with UTSW medical students this week for a hands-on vaccination skills session! 💪
The pharmacy team led instruction and demonstrations on how to safely and effectively administer intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SQ) vaccines — reinforcing teamwork, communication, and shared responsibility in patient care.
It was inspiring to see future pharmacists and physicians learning with, from, and about each other to improve vaccination confidence and promote public health. 🌟
