Family Medicine Residency Program

The Family Medicine Residency Program is fully accredited for three years of residency training. It is a "stand alone" program, with no other primary care residents competing for educational opportunities and teachable moments. The Health Center is 'University administered' but 'Community oriented', which means that a wealth of clinical experience is supported by a solid academic foundation.

Sports Medicine Fellowship

Our new Sports Medicine fellowship was designed to have an emphasis on hands-on clinical care of athletes. Tyler has one of the largest athletic trainer networks in the country and with no competing programs can offer tremendous and extensive first hand experience in the care of athletes. We cover numerous 5-A high school, Junior college and NCAA teams as well as community based events.

Some of the highlights of the program include:

No "standing in line", the fellow is directly responsible for caring for athletes in the sports medicine clinic, training room and on the field
Work with the second largest athletic trainer network in the country, ensuring the majority of your clinic time will be spent caring for athletes with sports related problems
Didactics and clinic time with experienced primary care sports medicine physicians, orthopodists, [including all orthopedic subspecialties], PM&R, physical therapists, dieticians and other allied health professionals. Opportunities for more in-depth courses such as Exercise Physiology and Sports Nutrition are offered by the University of Texas at Tyler
Opportunities to teach family medicine residents and medical students

The director of the Sports Medicine fellowship is Dr. Cathy Feiseler, assisted by Dr. Allison Tobola. Dr. Feiseler and Dr. Tobola were recently appointed as team physicians for The University of Texas at Tyler.

Tyler is a beautiful, dynamic city of +100K, located in the pine woods of east Texas. With a temperate climate and easily accessible parks and lakes, east Texans enjoy year round outdoor activities. Tyler is a safe, affordable, family friendly city. To learn more about Tyler and the family medicine residency program please go to www.uthct.edu/fp.

CSS: This specification defines Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 (CSS2). CSS2 is a style sheet language that allows authors and users to attach style (e.g., fonts, spacing, and aural cues) to structured documents (e.g., HTML documents and XML applications). By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS2 simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance.
XHTML 1.1: This Recommendation defines a new XHTML document type that is based upon the module framework and modules defined in Modularization of XHTML [XHTMLMOD]. The purpose of this document type is to serve as the basis for future extended XHTML 'family' document types, and to provide a consistent, forward-looking document type cleanly separated from the deprecated, legacy functionality of HTML 4 [HTML4] that was brought forward into the XHTML 1.0 [XHTML1] document types. This document type is essentially a reformulation of XHTML 1.0 Strict using XHTML Modules. This means that many facilities available in other XHTML Family document types (e.g., XHTML Frames) are not available in this document type. These other facilities are available through modules defined in Modularization of XHTML, and document authors are free to define document types based upon XHTML 1.1 that use these facilities (see [XHTMLMOD] for information on creating new document types).
WAI-AAA: These guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. The guidelines are intended for all Web content developers (page authors and site designers) and for developers of authoring tools. The primary goal of these guidelines is to promote accessibility. However, following them will also make Web content more available to all users, whatever user agent they are using (e.g., desktop browser, voice browser, mobile phone, automobile-based personal computer, etc.) or constraints they may be operating under (e.g., noisy surroundings, under- or over-illuminated rooms, in a hands-free environment, etc.). Following these guidelines will also help people find information on the Web more quickly. These guidelines do not discourage content developers from using images, video, etc., but rather explain how to make multimedia content more accessible to a wide audience.
