About the School

The A&M System Health Science Center College of Medicine is dedicated to the education of humane and highly skilled physicians and to the development of knowledge in the biomedical and clinical sciences. To achieve its mission, the College utilizes the varied resources of The Texas A&M University System, Scott & White Memorial Hospital and Clinic, the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System, Darnall Army Community Hospital, Driscoll Children's Hospital and physicians in private practice.

Curriculum

The success of our students defines who we are as a college. As we implement curricular reform to accommodate class expansion, we are mindful of the importance of continuing to put our students first and maintaining the personalized educational experience that makes us unique. Through curricular reform, we will provide our students with more clinical training options and develop innovative clinical tracks. Our current research strengths continue to expand in the areas of neuroscience, cell biology, cardiovascular/integrative biology, cancer and infectious disease. To further build out signature research programs, we have reorganized our basic science departments into four interdisciplinary departments.

Facilities

The College of Medicine is the result of a unique affiliation between Texas A & M University and several well-established clinical facilities. Scott & White Hospital and Clinic in Temple, Texas; the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (VA Hospitals Consortium) in Temple, Texas; Darnall Army Community Hospital at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas; and Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, are the clinical facilities which comprise this remarkable configuration that is the College of Medicine.
