Physician Residency

Physician Residency

Nationally Recognized, Award-Winning Teaching Hospital

University Health, an academic medical center with 716 beds, a 2016 operational budget of $1.5 billion and over 800 physicians, is well positioned to provide residents with a superior clinical training environment. Our one-million-square-foot 10-story Sky Tower opened in 2014 providing two floors of surgical suites with 35 new operating rooms, 420 private hospital rooms, advanced technology and an expanded Emergency Department.

It is here where:

  • New treatments are discovered through research
  • Patients benefit from clinical trials
  • Surgical advances are made, including video conferencing with other clinicians for consults, O-arm imaging system for spinal surgery and two hybrid operating rooms with enhanced capabilities
  • Trauma patients receive fast and accurate diagnosis of their injuries through our premier Level I trauma center
  • LEED-certified buildings allow us to conserve water and energy, reduce waste and lower operating costs
  • The city of San Antonio is growing fast, with a diverse patient culture
