Abstract
General Notes
The origins of UT Southwestern can be traced to the formation of the Southwestern Medical Foundation in 1939. The Foundation was created by a group of prominent Dallas citizens, led by the late Dr. Edward H. Cary and Karl Hoblitzelle, to promote medical education and research in Dallas and the southwest. In 1943, the Foundation opened Southwestern Medical College, which joined the University of Texas System in 1949, and evolved into today's UT Southwestern Medical Center.
