Transcribed version 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. Therefore, the Charter of the Southwestern Medical Foundation is one of the founding documents of UT Southwestern.
