M.D. Program

A Dell Medical School student wearing a white coat points to a whiteboard and discusses the content written on it to other students.

At Dell Medical School — the academic foundation of UT Medicine — students gain the core competencies to practice modern medicine while learning to lead, communicate, collaborate and care with purpose. As one of the newest fully accredited medical schools at a top-tier U.S. research university, the school is built for what medicine can become.

Training emphasizes value-based care, team-based learning and space for self-discovery. Students engage deeply with communities and benefit from expanded clinical opportunities across an evolving academic health system designed to connect care, learning and discovery.

This approach prepares students with the knowledge, skills and confidence to improve outcomes and help shape a better health care system — in Austin and beyond.
