When international patients need a physician specialist, International Services turns to its International Physicians' Panel. Panel members have demonstrated cultural sensitivity to and awareness of the needs of the international patient. In addition, Panel members are flexible in accepting and scheduling international patients and are committed to keeping the referring physician updated on the patient's status.

In return International Services supports Panel member with the following:

• Marketing and promotion of Panel Members and access to an exclusive physician referral service
• Assist Panel Members and staff with coordinating international patient arrangements and appointments
• Will serve as a sole point of contact for assistance in coordinating patient care at Methodist Healthcare

We would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to become a member of the International Physicians Panel if you are not already. Patients choose Methodist Healthcare in San Antonio due to the synergy that exists between the International Physicians Panel’s and International Services. This collaboration allows us to address the unique needs of patients and their families in a culturally sensitive way.

In order to become an International Physician Panel member you must be an active or provisional physician practicing at Methodist Healthcare System facilities.
