World-Class Health Care in Central Texas
Introducing The University of Texas Medical Center. With a new, state-of-the-art UT hospital, a new world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the academic and research expertise of UT Austin, it will cement Austin as a premier destination for health care alongside other major Texas cities.
Enabling Better Care
Redesigning Clinical Care
Dell Medical School works to redesign care in a way that’s centered on people and that rewards value.
The effort is led by faculty and other medical school experts from the Value Institute for Health and Care, working alongside thought leaders in the community. The result is new models of care that patients are experiencing now in Austin and Travis County — and that people across the country and around the world will benefit from as new ways of doing things are tested and proven in Central Texas.
UT Health Austin
Dell Med’s approach to care is in practice at UT Health Austin, which includes over 60 primary care, walk-in and specialty clinics as well as adult and pediatric programs in partnership with Ascension Seton and Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas.
Working directly with patients, UT Health Austin’s health care professionals create individualized care plans to help patients reach the goals that matter most to them — in the care room and beyond.
Community Settings
Dell Med faculty, joined by physicians in residency, also practice in community settings across Central Texas.
At Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas, the primary teaching hospital affiliated with Dell Med, up-and-coming doctors complete their training, providing care to patients under the supervision of faculty. In addition, Dell Seton joins CommUnityCare Health Centers and Integral Care as a place where shared leadership brings a common focus to improvement. The chairs of Dell Med’s departments of Surgery and Perioperative Care, Women’s Health and Psychiatry are all heads of Ascension Seton’s service lines in their areas of specialization.
Dell Med faculty and residents also provide care at CommUnityCare and People’s Community Clinic, and Dell Med students join with volunteer physicians, medical students from the University of Texas Medical Branch, and UT Austin nursing and pre-health undergraduate students to staff the C.D. Doyle Clinic, which provides care for un- and underinsured patients, particularly those experiencing homelessness.
