It is the goal of UTMB Austin - Internal Medicine Residency Program to train residents to care for acute and chronic illness in ambulatory and hospital settings. The Internal Medicine Program utilizes resources from the Austin area community, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, and the Seton Family of Hospitals. It is also the mission of the Internal Medicine Program to train residents to reach their potential as physicians, by emphasizing humanism, compassion, communication, evidence-based clinical care, and curiosity about health and disease.
The 41 internal medicine residents work closely with 14 full-time faculty members and 33+ contracted physicians who serve as additional faculty. The faculty and residents provide patient care at University Medical Center at Brackenridge. Each year we recruit 7 preliminary medicine residents and 14 categorical residents to the program.
With a dedicated faculty of experienced physicians, residents have the opportunity to rotate through a variety of subspecialties, including gastroenterology, pulmonary and critical care, cardiology, nephrology, infectious diseases, endocrinology, rheumatology, hematology/oncology, allergy, dermatology and neurology.
Through the UTMB Austin Programs training, physicians learn to understand and respond to the needs of the community through research, patient education and community service, which in turn enables them to be well prepared for a future in private practice, public health or rural care.
Seton is proud to have four hospitals – the only hospitals in Central Texas - that have earned the
