| About UTMB | |
| Opened in 1891, The University of Texas Medical Branch has been here for the health of Texas for more than a century. Our programs of excellence in health sciences education, patient care and research, along with our administrative support areas, provide a dynamic and fulfilling employment option for people who wish to make a difference in the lives of others.
What began as one hospital and one school is now a major academic health center with four schools, three institutes, six hospitals in Galveston, a network of campus- and community-based clinics, one of only three Level I trauma centers in Southeast Texas, and a highly collaborative research environment operating in state-of-the-art facilities. UTMB is an integral part of Texas medicine. The university has awarded more than 26,000 degrees throughout its history and has provided medical school or residency training to one in six physicians licensed to practice in Texas. The university records more than 850,000 patient visits and 42,000 inpatient admissions each year. Among medical schools, it ranks 38th nationally and third in Texas in terms of National Institutes of Health funding for research. Eight departments ranked among the top 20 nationally in NIH funding. UTMB is the seventh largest employer among those headquartered in the Houston/Galveston region and is one of only 13 hospitals in Texas to earn coveted Magnet Recognition for nursing excellence from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. If you want to work where service, innovation, diversity, education and community matter, consider UTMB. |
