Founded as the state's first medical school
in 1891, the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) has
served the health care needs of Texans for more than a century with
outstanding programs in health science education, patient care, and
research.
The legacy continues as the School of
Medicine has helped to define health care through a steadfast, four-fold
mission of promoting excellence in patient care, education, research
and service. Its rich history of the past still thrives in an atmosphere
of innovation and growth.
