About UTMB

The University of Texas Medical Branch has been here for the health of Texas since it first opened its doors to 23 medical students and 13 faculty in 1891. Much has changed since then.

What began as a two-building campus now includes more than 54 major buildings. The state-owned medical school has expanded into a major academic health center, with schools of medicine, nursing, allied health sciences and graduate biomedical sciences, as well as specialized institutes for the study of medical humanities and marine biomedicine. A single hospital has become a comprehensive patient care complex, with six hospitals and more than 80 campus- and community-based clinics. Research programs have evolved to address some of the most puzzling questions in medicine today.

What hasn’t changed is UTMB’s dedication to excellence in health sciences education, patient care and medical research. That commitment to bettering the lives of patients, students, employees and the community is as strong today as it was a century ago.
