With the UT Southwestern Psychiatry Residency rated #15th in the USA, #1 in the South, and #1 in Texas by Doximity, it is not surprising that our residents and teaching faculty are out and about participating in national and international professional activities, as well as receiving many awards. Psychiatry and Psychology graduations this season have featured faculty, residents and graduate students who are excelling and being recognized. It should fill every one of us with legitimate pride to see their participation.

The Office of Faculty Development launched a new digital onboarding resource to help research faculty integrate seamlessly into UT Southwestern. Covering pre-arrival preparations, first-month activities, and ongoing professional development, the website outlines a timeline of essential tasks and milestones to aid newcomers in navigating the institution and getting their research programs up and running as soon as possible. To facilitate the setup process, the site provides “how to” guides on the following topics:
- Build a Lab Website
- Build Faculty Profile
- Hire Staff
- Join Graduate Faculty
- Purchase Equipment
- Recruit Postdocs
- Recruit Students
- Secure Lab Animals
Faculty will also find a list of required training and approvals to launch their research programs. This central site allows our newest faculty members to easily access onboarding materials and the support they need to thrive.
