HCA Medical City Healthcare UNT-TCU GME Fort Worth Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a small, community-based, HCA Healthcare-affiliated dermatology residency in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex that admits two residents per year and is directed by osteopathic faculty, reflecting a program built to train broadly competent general dermatologists rather than a research-heavy academic powerhouse. The curriculum is structured around progressive exposure to general dermatology, dermatopathology, medical dermatology, Mohs surgery, and cosmetic surgery across PGY2-4, with continuity clinics spanning adult, pediatric, and surgical populations, emphasizing well-rounded clinical and procedural competency over subspecialty depth. Scholarly activity is supported through HCA's national research infrastructure (30+ million patient encounters, dedicated research coordinators, the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine) but is framed as an available resource meeting ACGME minimums rather than a defining institutional identity. The program's explicit emphasis on wellness, autonomy, belonging, and faculty relationships suggests it values residents who thrive in a supportive, community-oriented, team-based training culture over those seeking an intensely competitive academic environment.
