University of Texas Southwestern--Austin
Watch the video, Dream/Dare/Do, that champions efforts to establish a medical school and build a modern teaching hospital in Austin.
Tomorrow's doctors are being trained right here in Central Texas. Combining real world clinical experience with quality, personalized instruction, medical residents are gaining the skills they need to build successful careers in medicine.
A new agreement between the Seton Healthcare Family and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center provides the foundation for the Graduate Medical Education program at Seton. The partnership between Austin's largest healthcare provider and one of the country's leading medical schools and research institutions will expand the current graduate medical education program at Seton and facilitate the development of new specialty education opportunities in the area. UTMB currently has about 50 residents who do their clinical training in Austin.
UT Southwestern currently has about 180 residents who do their clinical training in Austin, and substantial growth is planned over the next few years. This is good news for the Central Texas region, since most physicians practice in the area where they complete their residency. Now residents training in Austin will not only improve access to care in the present, but also will help to address the future health needs of the area's growing population.
