Program Coordinator

Linda Teer Program Coordinator lteer@swmail.sw.org 1402 W. Avenue H Temple, TX 76504 Phone: 254-771-8401 Fax: 254-771-8493

For further assistance please contact our program coordinator, Mrs. Linda Teer. To a resident or fellow, the most important person in a department is the residency coordinator. As program coordinator for family medicine, Mrs. Teer tracks applications, arranges interview schedules, keeps the selection committee organized, manages the contract offers and maintains contacts after the match. Her role is even more important once residents join the department. She coordinates schedules, manages the personal files for each resident and answers more questions each day than most of us can remember. She is an invaluable resource for applicants, residents and faculty.
