Overview
Founded in 2016 as the first medical school built from the ground up at a top-tier U.S. research university in nearly 50 years, Dell Medical School was created with a mission to revolutionize how people get health care. Made possible by a voter-approved property tax and a major gift from Michael and Susan Dell, the school emphasizes value-based care, health system innovation, and community health improvement in central Texas. It has quickly built a reputation for rethinking traditional medical education through interdisciplinary collaboration and a focus on redesigning health care delivery.
