School of Medicine, Office of Student Affairs and Admissions
The Office of Student Affairs and Admissions is charged with the responsibility of enhancing student life, from matriculation to graduation. As a student-oriented institution, UTMB takes fierce pride in providing all the necessary resources to ensure that its students’ medical education and experiences will be excellent ones. Now more than ever before, students will be challenged to learn vast amounts of basic science and clinical knowledge. The practice of medicine is both an art and science - you will be called upon to master the clinical paradigms, apply those in a setting conducive to and supportive of lifelong learning. UTMB's traditional commitment to community and its strong presence in the medical humanities will foster your personal and professional development as a physician, mentor, teacher, and healthcare provider. We hope that this website will provide you with an overview of the UTMB community, the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions, its admissions procedures, special programs, academic and career counseling services, student government, and the many excellent educational opportunities that await you. We welcome you to this place of learning, where the excitement of the art and science of medicine truly comes alive. Lauree Thomas, M.D. |
