WELCOME TO
UT HEALTH
SAN ANTONIO
We are a program that knows what we are about. We are committed to deliver the highest quality of medical care in whatever environment we may find ourselves. We believe in training in low-resource settings, so that you will be able to provide excellent care in challenging and dynamic environments. We are a global city and work diligently to prepare you to work wherever you find yourself, from San Antonio to across the world!
We consider it a privilege to live and work in our multicultural city with its large refugee population that allows us to practice global medicine each and every day. We are eager to showcase to you why we call this place Home.

A growing network of alumni throughout the country with a strong reputation, leading to multiple employment offers for PGY-3 residents, even in competitive markets.
