There’s no doubt that the North Texas population is growing by the day. That’s why building a pipeline of trained medical talent in our region is imperative to caring for the community, today and in the future.

Recently, Texas Health added to its Graduate Medical Education (GME) program with two new internal medicine residencies, one at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth, and another combined program at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton and Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Hurst-Euless-Bedford.

While residents have been training at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas for decades, the recent approval of the aforementioned programs by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), in addition to a general surgery residency program at Texas Health Fort Worth that began in July 2021, demonstrate a significant expansion of Texas Health’s physician training programs.

When it comes to comparably sized markets, Dallas-Fort Worth has fewer residency slots per 100,000 people than Chicago, Houston, New York and Los Angeles. With an aging physician workforce in North Texas and numbers of uninsured and medically underserved among the highest in the country, this investment in GME slots will allow Texas Health to address many critical access issues facing consumers in its service area.
