Patient Population

San Antonio is the 7th-largest and fastest-growing city in the United States, which means we care for patients over 50,000 square miles. To put it into perspective, that is BIGGER than the country of Portugal!!!

Our proximity to Central America makes us THE entry point for thousands of migrant families who travel as far away as the Middle East and Africa to get top-notch medical care for their families. Because of this, we serve a highly diverse and culturally rich population that includes African-Americans, Asians, and a significant Latino and Afghani community. This diversity allows our residents to practice compassionate holistic care and true advocacy every day.

From mastering the “bread & butter” of Pediatrics to confidently caring for the sickest, most complicated patients with rare diagnoses, our residents graduate fully prepared to enter fellowship or general practice! At UT Health San Antonio, we are dedicated to celebrating the diversity of our patients and fostering a respectful, supportive workplace where equity and belonging are at the forefront of our culture.
