What Makes UTSW Different
Joint Pediatric Enterprise (JPE)
UT Southwestern Medical Center is proud to collaborate with Children’s Health to recruit top-caliber faculty and pediatric APPs who work within both health care systems to provide the very best care for children and their families.
The JPE, formed in 2019, is structured to facilitate shared decision-making and operational alignment between Children’s Health and UT Southwestern, which have been affiliated for more than 60 years. Together, we are better equipped to meet the rapidly growing needs of the North Texas pediatric community and beyond. This powerful partnership strengthens patient outcomes by providing access to renowned faculty, biomedical research, and clinical trials.
