Texas Health Resources/Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth Program

The Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth Internal Medicine Residency Program offers a comprehensive training experience that prepares physicians to practice both present-day and future medicine. It boasts a collaboration between Texas Health Resources and the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University, aiming to provide a supportive and innovative training environment.

The program stands out for its unique "4+2" schedule format, which eliminates traditional on-call rotations in favor of dedicated sub-specialty and ambulatory experiences, coupled with progressive responsibilities in both inpatient and outpatient settings. It emphasizes a balanced training approach, seeking to foster not only clinical excellence but also personal well-being. Residents are bestowed with four weeks of vacation time, administrative days, and opportunities for in-depth involvement in quality improvement projects. The residency also holds academic affiliations that enrich the educational experience, including access to considerable academic resources and leadership training.

Another hallmark is its commitment to resident wellness, offering structured support systems and opportunities for personal health care. The leadership and faculty comprise seasoned educators and practitioners, dedicated to providing a breadth of clinical rotations, experiences, and opportunities designed to prepare residents for a variety of career paths, including competitive fellowships.

The curriculum is designed to offer comprehensive exposure to all aspects of internal medicine, ensuring residents are well-rounded and ready for various career directions, whether in fellowship, hospital medicine, or ambulatory primary care.

The program does not currently sponsor visas, indicating that applicants must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship. The application process through ERAS emphasizes a holistic review, with special consideration for personal statements that convey a genuine interest in the Texas Health Fort Worth program. The selection process is based on preparedness, academic credentials, and personal characteristics without discrimination.

The Texas Health Fort Worth program is structured to provide not only outstanding clinical training but also to cultivate leadership, research, and educational skills, aligning with its mission to train tomorrow’s internists to care for and improve community health. It is an inviting option for prospective residents seeking a blend of academic rigor within a community hospital setting, supported by a comprehensive wellness focus and myriad opportunities for professional growth.
