Our vision is “Excellence above all” in the quest to be a leader in the collaboration to treat, cure and prevent the most common diseases of our time through education, research and clinical practice.

The deans of our seven schools have assembled dedicated teams of faculty and staff to provide the best education possible in medicine, nursing, dentistry, public health, behavioral health sciences, biomedical informatics and the biomedical sciences. This is the most comprehensive collection of health education opportunities in Texas and we pride ourselves in training tomorrow’s leaders in health care, research and education.
