Train here. This is why.

The Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas Internal Medicine Residency is training physicians to practice medicine now and in the future. This program builds upon the commitment to care established by Texas Health Resources, the highest-ranked health system in the U.S. on Fortune’s 2025 100 Best Companies to Work For® list and offers a unique experience for residents. Here’s how:

Established program with proven success. For nearly 50 years, the Texas Health Dallas Internal Medicine Residency has prepared graduates for fellowship, primary care, or hospital medicine. Established in the 1970s, the program offers a broad spectrum of learning, allowing residents to pursue a fellowship, or a career in primary care or as a hospitalist. Exposure to neurology, dermatology and emergency medicine provides education vital to internal medicine residents, many of whom have had success in obtaining fellowship positions in cardiology, gastroenterology, hematology-oncology, nephrology, endocrinology and other subspecialties.

Mentorship and support. The program’s approachable faculty foster open communication and collaboration. Residents received personalized guidance in clinical judgment, career planning, scholarly activity and research.

Exposure to research. Residents are encouraged and supported in the pursuit of scholarly activity, research and quality improvement, and many have published case reports in peer-reviewed journals. Residents are encouraged to participate and present a poster and/or case presentation, and many have won awards for their posters and presentations at local ACP chapter meetings.

Community-based hospital setting. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a close-knit residency community and diverse clinical exposure at a tertiary hospital. Residents benefit from learning from more than 100 full-time and part-time faculty members in the program. A collaborative and congenial atmosphere is enjoyed by a staff united with a singular Mission. There is an excellent rapport and mutual understanding between house staff and faculty members, who serve as teaching and admitting attendings, and hospital staff is welcoming to residents. Residents in the Texas Health Dallas Internal Medicine Residency also receive experience through the program’s teaching clinic at a federally qualified health center, which serves a diverse population and promotes interprofessional collaboration.

Emphasis on compassionate care. At Texas Health Dallas, residents learn, grow and thrive--preparing to lead the future of health. We believe in a holistic approach that addresses mind, body and spirit, for patients as well as residents. Our mind-body medicine curriculum integrates wellness and community-building. As a participating site for the Integrative Medicine in Residency program, we offer training and core concepts of integrative medicine throughout residency. By training excellent physicians deeply connected to the communities we serve, we prepare the next generation for today's challenges and opportunities.
