2. History of UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas

The story of UT Southwestern Medical Center is one of commitment to excellence, dedication to discovery, and service to the community . It's also a story of phenomenal growth, fueled by exceptional people with an extraordinary vision: to establish an academic medical center second to none.

Since its formation in 1943, Southwestern Medical School has grown from a small wartime medical college into UT Southwestern Medical Center, a multifaceted academic institution nationally recognized for its excellence in educating physicians, biomedical scientists, and health care personnel.

Under the leadership of the late Edward H. Cary, M.D., and Karl Hoblitzelle, a group of prominent Dallas citizens organized Southwestern Medical Foundation in 1939 to promote medical education and research in Dallas and the region. When Baylor University was elected to move its school of medicine from Dallas to Houston in 1943, the Foundation formally established Southwestern Medical College as the 68th medical school in the United States.

Its growth was driven by an extraordinary group of people with a vision: they wanted to build the world's first academic medical center.

Since its founding in 1943, Texas Southwestern Medical Center has grown from a small wartime medical school into a multifaceted academic institution. Its contribution in training physicians, biomedical scientists, and health care personnel has been recognized domestically.

The Southwest Medical Foundation was organized in 1939 by outstanding citizens of Dallas under the leadership of the late Edward Cary and Carl Hoblitzer. The foundation's mission is to advocate for the advancement of medical education and research in Dallas and locally. In 1943, Baylor University School of Medicine moved from Dallas to Houston. At the same time, the foundation officially became Southwest Medical College. This is also the 68th medical school in the United States.

When a new state medical school was proposed after World War II, leaders of Southwestern Medical Foundation offered the college's equipment, library, and certain restricted funds to The University of Texas, provided the University would locate its new medical branch in Dallas. The Board of Regents accepted this offer from the Foundation, and in 1949 the college became Southwestern Medical School of The University of Texas. In 1954 the name was changed to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. The present campus site on Harry Hines Boulevard was occupied in 1955 upon the completion of the Edward H. Cary Building. This placed the Medical School faculty next to the newly built Parkland Memorial Hospital.

　In November 1972 the name and scope of the Medical School were changed with its reorganization into The University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas.

In 1986 the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) opened a research facility on the campus. Concentrating on molecular biology, it has brought outstanding scientists to head laboratories in their specialties. These investigators also hold faculty positions in the basic science departments of the Medical and Graduate schools.

In October 1987 the UT System Board of Regents approved changing the name of the health science center to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, reconfirming its original Southwestern identity. The Medical Center currently encompasses UT Southwestern Medical School, UT Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the UT Southwestern School of Health Professions.

After World War II, it was proposed to establish a new state medical school. Leaders of the Southwestern Medical Foundation provided equipment, libraries, and specific funding for the medical school and asked the University of Texas to agree to locate the new medical branch in Dallas. The University Board of Trustees received funding from the foundation.

In 1949, the school became the Southwestern Medical School of The University of Texas. In 1954, the name was changed to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. In 1995, the Edward Cary Building was built and the School of Medicine moved to Harry Hines Avenue (where the School of Medicine remains today). The School of Medicine now sits adjacent to the newly constructed Parkland Memorial Hospital.

In November 1972, the School of Medicine was reorganized and merged into the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas, and its name and size were changed.

In 1986, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute opened a research facility on campus. The institution specializes in molecular biology, bringing together outstanding scientists and integrating them into specialized laboratories. These scientists also hold faculty positions in graduate schools of medicine.

In October 1987, the University of Texas Board of Trustees agreed to change the name of the Health Science Center to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, thereby reaffirming its original identity as Southwestern Medical Center. At present, the medical center consists of Southwest Medical College, Southwest Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and Southwest College of Health Professions.
