Welcome to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and the Department of Internal Medicine. From its origin a little over 50 years ago as a tiny group under the chairmanship of Dr. Tinsley R. Harrison, the department has grown steadily in size and national distinction. It has always sought to be academic in the fullest sense of the word, with no neglect of teaching, clinical care or scientific investigation. Its operating motto is simple: We want to be better next year than we are this year. Nothing less. Nothing more.
Currently the faculty numbers 265 primary full-time faculty with 54 faculty from other departments holding secondary appointments. The primary faculty includes two members of the National Academy of Sciences and six members of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy. Its secondary faculty includes two Nobel laureates. Forty-four faculty are members of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and 25 are members of the Association of American Physicians. There are 150 house officers and 200 fellows in training.
Included in our web site are introductions to the past chairmen, Dr. Daniel Foster and Dr. Donald Seldin, our two vice chairmen, Dr. Clark Gregg and Dr. L. David Hillis, as well as the chiefs of each of our divisions. We will also provide links to the residency training program, and updated calendars and scheduled conferences, including Internal Medicine Grand Rounds.
Sincerely,
J. Gregory Fitz, M.D., Chairman
