Our fundraising priorities reflect our commitment to our students, faculty, and the patients they serve.

Our dual degree programs, including MD/MBA and MD/PhD options, further allow talented students to grow their expertise in specialties across health care. In partnership with Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center—one of the nation’s top teaching hospitals—our students learn how to diagnose, treat, and prevent the most common and complex diseases.
Your gift to a scholarship or fellowship can provide the means to attract the brightest students, many of whom may not be able to nurture their talent without the benefit of financial assistance. This funding is essential for supporting the next generation who will provide compassionate care to our families, friends, and neighbors.
