McGovern Medical School
The John P. and Kathrine G. McGovern Medical School, located in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas, is the graduate medical school associated with the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston). Established by the Texas Legislature in 1969 as the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, the McGovern Medical School enrolled its first class of 19 students in 1970. Today, the school annually enrolls a class size of 240 students, making it the seventh-largest medical school in the United States.
In 1968, the University of Texas Board of Regents signed an affiliation agreement with Hermann Hospital for the hospital to become the primary teaching facility for the proposed University of Texas Medical School at Houston. In 1969, the University of Texas Medical School at Houston was simultaneously authorized with the Texas Tech University School of Medicine by the Texas Legislature to address the projected state and national shortages of physicians.
In 1972, the school joined the newly formed University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
In 2010, the University of Texas System Board of Regents approves a dba for the University of Texas Health Science Center to operate under the name UTHealth. This results in the renaming of the UT Medical School at Houston to the UTHealth Medical School.
In 2015, the school received a $75 million donation from the John P. McGovern Foundation, the largest donation in the university's history. In honor of the gift, the UTHealth Medical School was renamed the John P. and Katherine G. McGovern Medical School.
The Texas Medical Center is a dense agglomeration of hospitals, schools, and ancillary businesses clustered on a triangular piece of land bordered by Rice University and the neighborhood of Southampton to the west, Brays Bayou to the south and east, and Hermann Park to the north. With over 120,000 employees, the TMC is the largest medical complex in the world. The Texas Medical Center Corporation has compared its dense cityscape to the Chicago Loop and Lower Manhattan.
The admissions process is streamlined through Texas Medical & Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS), whereby applicants are ranked by schools at which they interview and then "matched" for final placement to a single Texas medical school of their highest preference.
Along with the M.D. degree, McGovern Medical School offers options for students to pursue combined degrees and to earn special graduation distinctions. The combined degrees include:
