The University of Houston College of Medicine is the newest official member of the Texas Medical Center (TMC) – the largest medical city in the world – following approval by the TMC Board of Directors. As the 63rd member institution, the city of Houston s first new medical school in nearly a half-century will have increased opportunities for collaboration with dozens of hospitals and academic institutions, including four other medical schools. The University of Houston was named a TMC member institution in 2009 while the UH College of Pharmacy has been a member since 1980. It is a significant milestone for the new College of Medicine, which was founded on a social mission to improve health in underserved communities in Houston and across Texas. The inaugural class of 30 medical students started in fall 2020.
