The Office of Student Affairs, Admissions, and Outreach recently hosted a Speed Friending event, giving College of Medicine students the chance to connect with graduate and professional students from across the University of Houston campus.

The Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine celebrated a major milestone this August with its second annual Student Research Day, an event designed to highlight the innovation, dedication and curiosity of the college’s future physicians. Thirty-eight medical students presented original research spanning the biomedical, clinical, and public health sciences, sharing discoveries that reflect the college’s mission-driven approach to advancing health and improving care for communities.

Inside the gleaming halls of the University of Houston’s Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine, future physicians are on the cutting edge of technology and innovation — every tool, from digital anatomy tables to virtual surgery modules, is designed to prepare them for the rapidly evolving world of modern medicine.
