This Accessibility Statement addresses the importance of fostering accessible experiences across both the Physical and Digital spaces.

​Accessibility Statement

At Methodist Healthcare and HCA Healthcare are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We continuously work to improve the accessibility and usability of our Graduate Medical Education (GME) website, ensuring all visitors—prospective residents, fellows, faculty, patients, and community members—have full access to information regarding our residency programs, clinical rotations, and educational facilities at Methodist Hospital.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We are dedicated to aligning our digital resources with the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Level AA benchmarks. Beyond expanding access for individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, or physical impairments, adhering to these standards creates a clear, user-friendly digital experience for everyone exploring our residency and fellowship programs.

Our teams continuously work to recognize, address, and eliminate digital and physical obstacles across our Graduate Medical Education portals, online tools, academic resources, and clinical environments at Methodist Hospital. To maintain high accessibility standards, we conduct regular audits of our digital assets, incorporate inclusive design practices from the ground up, and enhance the physical infrastructure across our training facilities.

This proactive approach reflects our broader dedication to building a fully welcoming environment across all Methodist Healthcare clinical and educational operations. We actively seek input on how to enhance our site's accessibility and provide prompt support for individual accommodation requests.
