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.
