Support Our School - School of Medicine

“Education in medicine is a richly detailed undertaking, based as it is on past tradition and present discovery. It requires an impressive array of resources that span a spectrum from the demonstration of the latest scientific innovation to the delivery of the most compassionate care. Each of us holds a major stake in the success of the effort, as the future of our health care will, in the end, depend on the skill with which we impart this knowledge. It is therefore true to say that each of us is dependent on the outcome of these efforts, as this will determine the quality of care for us and for our loved ones in generations to come.”

Education

The educational program in the School of Medicine is multi-faceted and focuses not only on the science of medicine but also on the art of medicine.  Our goal is to graduate young physicians who are compassionate, respectful of diversity, advocates for patients, and who have developed skills of life-long learning with the ability to apply current technological advances for the better treatment of their patients.

Research

The School of Medicine has a tradition of excellence in research aimed at producing improvements in human health.  To be successful, to grow and to evolve as a top-tier research institution, we invest in our outstanding faculty, encourage collaboration, and recruit the very best and brightest new faculty to join us in maintaining this tradition.  Among School of Medicine faculty, there are international leaders in 17 different areas of research focus. Some of these areas include work that has lead to notable advances in the areas of transplantation, cancer, stroke, heart disease and diabetes.

Clinical Care/Community Outreach

The University of Texas Medicine (UT Medicine) is the practice organization for the School of Medicine and is the largest multidisciplinary practice group in South Texas with over 700 licensed clinicians.  UT Medicine clinicians practice in six inpatient and eleven outpatient venues with more than 600,000 outpatient visits per year.  While not only offering a full spectrum of care from primary care to transplantation services, the faculty also supervises the training of 750 residents.
