The Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin was established in September 2013 and has been designed from the ground up as a 21st-century medical school at a top-tier U.S. research university in a vibrant, entrepreneurial, socially conscious and conscientious city. The Dell Medical School aims to measurably improve health by educating leaders, developing new models of care, advancing innovation from health products to health care delivery, and building models that scale for increasing impact. As part of a groundbreaking role for academic medicine in rethinking and redesigning health care to enable better health for all.

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.

This shift in the way doctors are educated equips students with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to transform the health care system and improve outcomes locally.

The Dell Medical School awards a Doctorate of Medicine (M.D.). The first inaugural class of medical students graduated in May 2020.

Graduate Medical Education (GME)

Residency and fellowship programs at Dell Medical School ensure that all physicians in training are prepared to engage in the critical work of revolutionizing how people get and stay healthy with a signature curriculum, Advancing Care Transformation, or ACT.

This unique learning experience emphasizes value-based health care, quality improvement, equity, leadership, teamwork and other key competencies in health systems science.
