At UT Health Austin, we value experience, and vision. Building on the proven, best practices of established academic medical centers and systems, we are also committed to pioneering a streamlined, lean approach to community-based subspecialty medicine that will:

• Align allied, high-quality healthcare service organizations (outpatient, inpatient, medical, surgical and supporting imaging and laboratory systems) in a collaborative, technology-connected, geographically organized practice environment to give providers the tools and support they need to excel in their own specialties, while embracing patients in a coordinated, personalized system of care.
• Maximize efficiencies in scheduling, support staff, technology systems and physical facilities to make referrals between clinicians seamless, while maintaining an exemplary patient experience and level of personal service and connection.
• Provide access to the finest professional development and educational opportunities, such as resident and fellow training and academic appointments through the Dell Medical School, designed to enhance each clinician’s practice in ways that meet their own individual goals and practice ambitions.

As part of the University of Texas at Austin, the Dell Medical School is pursuing innovation in the redesign of health care delivery, research, and interdisciplinary/inter-professional education. The school opened to the inaugural class of 50 students in the summer of 2016 as the newest of 18 colleges and schools on the UT Austin campus. The medical school is named after the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, which has pledged $50 million over ten years to the school.

The curricular model at Dell Med is called the Leading EDGE, highlighting the focus of each year of study: essentials, delivery, growth and exploration. The students learn through case studies, use art to foster empathy, and apply knowledge by caring for their patients and the community. All of this is enhanced by a heavy focus on value-based care and health systems science through an accelerated preclinical curriculum that allows second year students to enter clerkships and apply clinical skills in hospitals and clinics.
