Veterans and Equal Opportunity

Veterans and Service Members

UTHealth recognizes that our military and veteran population is a very diverse group that brings vast experiences and knowledge to our workforce. UTHealth is committed to recruiting and retaining those who served, who are continuing to serve in the United States Military and certain associated individuals.

If you are a veteran, you may be eligible for Veteran’s Employment Preference. To receive preference, you must designate on your application if you are:

A veteran

A recently separated veteran
A veteran’s surviving spouse who has not remarried
An orphan of a veteran (if the veteran was killed while on active duty)
An active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran
An Armed Forces service medal veteran
