Notes: Reporting is based on the demographic categories of faculty and staff defined by the Association of American Medical Colleges due to underrepresentation in medicine. Data on this page was collected in accordance with UT standards. Information is accurate as of December 2021.

“Employed faculty” is a category not representative of all appointments.

Dell Med was established in 2014 and enrolled its first class in 2016. Data comparisons to 2018 are associated with the first year in which there was a base population large enough for accurate measurement.
