Mission

The LRC supports the teaching and learning functions of the faculty, staff, and students of McGovern Medical School at UTHealth and provides a well-furnished and equipped space for the students to study independently or in a group, 24 hours a day, both in the Medical School Building and at the LBJ Hospital. The LRC promotes the utilization of innovative instructional resources, helps students search online medical literature, and cultivates in them lifelong study strategies.
