History of Southwestern
Since its formation in 1943, Southwestern Medical School has grown from a small wartime medical college into the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, a multi-faceted academic institution of nationally recognized excellence in the education of physicians, biomedical scientists, and health care personnel. Its component institutions include Southwestern Medical School, Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the Southwestern Allied Health Sciences School.

There are now more than 1000 full-time faculty, including four Nobel Laureates and eleven members of the National Academy of Sciences, as well as 800 medical students, over 1000 clinical residents, 500 biomedical science students, and 400 postdoctoral fellows in training. UT Southwestern is dedicated to the education of physicians who are thoroughly grounded in the scientific basis of modern medicine, who are inspired to maintain lifelong medical scholarship, and who will care for patients in a responsible and compassionate manner.

The Department of Radiology has been lead by Robert W. Parkey, M.D., the longest sitting chairman on the UT Southwestern campus, for over 27 years. This dynamic and innovative department is committed to being at the forefront of new developments and clinical applications in medical imaging. The expanding facilities and programs, supported by the UT basic science and research divisions, enables the department to offer unique and varied learning opportunities to the residents and fellows. Their programs are designed for the maximum benefit from the high volume and broad range of cases encountered at the various teaching hospitals affiliated with the program.
