Welcome to Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine

We are one mission with many voices. I am thrilled to be a part of the Fertitta Family College of Medicine in our journey to develop a community-centered medical school for Houston and Texas. We are committed to educating competent, compassionate physicians, who are ready to confront the current health care challenges and are prepared to take on whatever tomorrow brings.

Our curriculum has been thoughtfully designed to place the biomedical and clinical sciences as cornerstones of our program upon which we build structures that ensure our students will understand their patients’ needs, their cultures, their families and communities to provide them the best care and advocacy as possible.

Are you ready to RISE to the challenge?

Regards,
Michelle A. Carroll Turpin, Ph.D.
