Medical Faculty

The excellence of any educational institution is determined by the caliber of its faculty. The faculty at UT Southwestern Medical School has many distinguished members, including six who have won Nobel Prizes since 1985; 25 members of the National Academy of Sciences; 17 members of the National Academy of Medicine; and 13 investigators with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Faculty members of the Medical School have reached positions of prominence in American and international medicine. Many of the more than 2,700 full-time faculty members have been elected to the presidencies of national or international professional societies, have chaired major national and international medical committees, have been members of study sections for the National Institutes of Health, or are editors or members of editorial boards of medical and scientific journals.

The number of UT Southwestern students placing at the top in national competitive examinations and earning residency positions in outstanding postgraduate programs demonstrates the quality of instruction and learning in both the scientific and clinical curriculums.
