Curriculum
The undergraduate medical curriculum at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston is designed to provide aspiring physicians and physician-scientists with a comprehensive education rooted in scientific and clinical excellence, and compassionate patient care. Through a dynamic blend of classroom instruction, small group sessions, clinical experiences, and research opportunities, students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to excel in the ever-evolving field of medicine. With a focus on innovation and collaboration, our curriculum fosters the development of future medical leaders who are committed to advancing patient-centered healthcare and addressing the health needs of diverse populations.
In 2026, McGovern joined over 50 medical schools across the country in the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Advancing Nutrition Education initiative. Details about McGovern’s enhanced nutrition curriculum can be found on our Nutrition page.
