The Future of Medicine is Here
Join Us
The Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine is taking a bold and fresh new approach to medical education. The status quo hasn’t improved health. The U.S. spends more on health care than any other developed nation; yet, we have some of the poorest health outcomes.
To end the downward trend, Fertitta College of Medicine is tackling a key contributor to poor health — a shortage of primary care doctors. We will prepare students to become primary care physicians who deliver compassionate, high-value care to underserved communities in Houston and Texas.
At the College of Medicine, our focus is on preventing and improving poor health — not simply treating it. Students will receive the highest quality medical training to provide comprehensive health care. By teaching students to address key factors that affect their patients' health — such as food insecurity, the environment and housing — we can help fill a gap in health care in our urban and rural areas.
The future of medicine is here. Come help shape it for a better tomorrow. Join our mission to improve health.
