"UTMB has a long marvelous history of advancing health sciences education,
research and patient care. It was the first academic health center in Texas and
is home to the state’s first schools of medicine, nursing and allied health sciences.
For 116 years, the university has maintained a forward-thinking spirit that has enabled
it to serve its students, its patients and people in Texas and beyond in innovative ways.
That pioneering spirit is alive and well today, enabling us to honor our legacy even as we
expand our focus to improve health care worldwide. The members of the UTMB community share
a deep commitment to service, an enduring dedication to excellence, a strong desire to
blaze new trails and a great willingness to leverage their extraordinary expertise."
