At UT Southwestern Medical Center, our patients’ medical records are kept in accordance with all federal laws relating to privacy and confidentiality. It’s a commitment we take seriously.

Medical Records

Patients with an active MyChart portal already have access to their medical records and are able to share it with other healthcare providers. However, if patients still would like to obtain copies of their medical records can do so by following the directions on the Requesting Your Record page.

Please note: UT Southwestern Medical Center physicians/providers are not the custodian of the medical records. All requests for medical records need to be directed to the Health Information Management – Release of Information Department.
