Dell Medical School

Bold pursuits in health and sciences are launching from The University of Texas at Austin. Dell Medical School is the realization of one community’s hope for better health.

Dell Medical School is the newest of 18 colleges and schools at UT Austin and the first new medical school at a top-tier Association for American Universities research university in nearly 50 years. Today, the school is fully enrolled, with a rapidly growing clinical enterprise at UT Health Austin and a new approach to health innovation that harnesses the university’s vast research expertise.

Transforming health is a pillar of the university’s What Starts Here campaign, and Dell Medical School’s fundraising priorities have the full support of the president, provost and regents. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture the attention of generous philanthropists ready to invest in shaping the future of medical education, care and research.

In August 2023, The University of Texas Systems Board of Regents announced a $2.5B commitment to create the University of Texas Medical Center. Which will include a new UT-owned sub-specialty hospital and a new MD Anderson Cancer Center.  Combined with the UT campus and Dell Medical School’s established reputation for research and medical education, the new medical center will position UT and Austin as a national leader and premier destination for health care. As part of the project, Dell Medical School has committed to raising $500M in private philanthropy.
