Message from Dean LaTanya Love
McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston is committed to preparing the next generation of physicians and biomedical scientists through an innovative, student-centered education grounded in compassion, discovery, and lifelong learning. Our curriculum blends rigorous scientific training with medical humanities and emerging technologies, ensuring our learners are ready to lead in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
Being part of UTHealth Houston and the world-renowned Texas Medical Center allows our students to benefit from a uniquely collaborative environment that supports excellence in education, research, and patient care. Across our institution, we foster a culture of professionalism, mentorship, leadership, and service—values that shape not only how we teach, but who we are.
Through clinical experiences with UT Physicians, the UTHealth Houston Harris County Psychiatric Center, and the John S. Dunn Behavioral Sciences Center at UTHealth Houston, students gain firsthand insight into the needs of the individuals and communities they serve. Students also benefit from partnerships with clinical affiliates, including Memorial Hermann Health System, Harris Health Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital, and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, providing experience across some of the nation’s premier clinical and academic healthcare settings.
I invite you to explore our degree programs, learn more about our curriculum, and discover what makes McGovern Medical School such a special place to learn, grow, and serve.
