SHAPING THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE


At the Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine, we’re training the next generation of physicians to serve communities and address the primary care physician shortage in Texas. By focusing on medical education that is community-facing, we’re preparing students to make a lasting impact in rural and urban underserved areas, where inequitable health care is most pressing. 

Through an innovative and integrated curriculum, our students receive instruction in biomedical, clinical, behavioral and social sciences, as well as population health and health systems sciences. Even before earning their medical degrees, our students are contributing to research and driving change in the communities they serve. On Giving Day, you have the power to support these future leaders and advance the future of medicine for a healthier tomorrow.  


TILMAN J. FERTITTA FAMILY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE SCHOLARSHIP FUND


For aspiring physicians, the financial cost of medical school is often a significant barrier. Your gift to the Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine Scholarship Fund helps ease this burden, allowing students to pursue their dreams of becoming doctors without the weight of excessive student loans.

Your support will:

  • Help recruit high-caliber students passionate about making a difference in their communities.
  • Diversify the physician workforce and make medical education accessible to students from all financial backgrounds.
  • Empower future physicians to pursue careers in primary care, where compensation is typically lower than specialty medicine.
  • Provide a pathway for physicians committed to serving underserved rural and urban areas. 

Support the Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine Scholarship Fund today and help transform the future of health care - one physician at a time.
