Undergraduate Medical Education (UME)

Dell Medical School students gain the core competencies to practice modern medicine while also learning how to become better leaders, communicators, partners and caregivers. Training includes a focus on value-based health care, team-based learning, space for self-discovery, expanded clinical opportunities, engagement with community partners and more.
