Medicine with a Mission.
About us
The Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine at the University of Houston is founded on a social mission to improve health in underserved communities in Houston and across Texas. If your key driver is to help others and make a lasting impact, the Fertitta Family College of Medicine is for you. Texas has a critical shortage of primary care doctors. To improve health in Houston and across Texas, our program emphasizes primary care — especially in urban and rural communities, which often have poorer health outcomes. We are committed to educating future primary care doctors to be the health change agents our state and community needs. Students receive the highest quality medical training to provide comprehensive health care and to address key factors that affect their patients' health. Our approach to medical education is rooted in sound clinical training aimed at overall wellness. We don’t train students to simply treat illness, but to take a holistic approach to improve patients’ health. We address the social and economic factors that affect health outcomes and work with a variety of professionals — from social workers and nurses to lawyers and community health workers — to eliminate health disparities in high-priority communities. The future of medicine is here. Come help shape it for a better tomorrow. Join our mission to improve health.

Susan Guajardo’s favorite thing about being in the Class of 2028 is the authenticity and community within the class! ❤️ "We are unapologetically ourselves, we will voice our questions when we do not understand something or will share any resources so that we can all benefit. The sense of community was obvious from the start of orientation and was solidified when we came together as a class and wrote our own Hippocratic Oath. This class has become so tight-knit in a short period of time, I truly feel like I have known these people for a lifetime!"

Why did #MS1 Sabrina Jones choose medicine? 🩺 "My experience as a patient with a chronic skin condition, which led to 30 surgeries, made me realize I needed to be part of this field. I noticed the lack of representation among women, especially women of color, and want to address this to better serve patients like me. Additionally, experiencing homelessness at 13 and relying on government support showed me how non-medical determinants of health affect health outcomes. This led me to want to become a physician and advocate for future patients."
