While home to the Texas Medical Center, large swaths of Houston have high or moderately high levels of socioeconomic disadvantage, according to the Health of Houston Survey 2015. Many of these areas also have the highest levels of residents in fair or poor health. This is mirrored in rural and urban areas across much of Texas, where health disparities are like those found in developing nations.

The College is educating future physicians who are dedicated to addressing the most pressing needs in our state and nation, particularly in underserved communities.
