About Dell Medical School (https://dellmed.utexas.edu/about)

The future of medical education (https://dellmed.utexas.edu/medical-education), care and research is taking shape at the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin, created in unprecedented partnership with local taxpayers (https://dellmed.utexas.edu/community-investment), who in 2012 voted to support a vision for better health in Austin and Travis County.

With the opportunity to start from scratch also comes the opportunity to create a new type of medical school and to really rethink the role of academic medicine in improving health.

In the words of Dean Clay Johnston (https://dellmed.utexas.edu/team-profile/clay-johnston), “I’m not interested in creating just another medical school, but in creating a medical school that really represents what we want health – and health education – to be in the next century.” The school’s unique vision and mission represent that aspiration.

Vision: A Vital, Inclusive Health Ecosystem

Vital: Vigorous, animated, full of life and energy, dynamicInclusive: Open to everyoneEcosystem: The complex of a community and its environment functioning as a system Mission: We will revolutionize how people get and stay healthy.

Improving health in our community as a model for the nation; Evolving new models of person-centered, multidisciplinary care that reward value;Advancing innovation from discovery to outcomes;Educating leaders who transform health care; andRedesigning the academic health environment to better serve society.
