Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine

The Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine Founders’ Council is comprised of individuals, foundations and corporate representatives who have contributed a single gift of $1 million or more, and ambassadors who are committed to advancing the Fertitta College of Medicine’s stated educational mission and goals: Developing physicians focused on improving health care in underserved communities in Houston and throughout Texas.

 

As the Fertitta College of Medicine continues to grow and establish itself as an innovative leader in medical education in Houston, Texas and beyond, the role of the Founders’ Council is more critical than ever. Members serve as key advisors to the Dean and ambassadors who further the College’s mission by engaging the community, securing needed resources and working collectively to elevate the national profile and recognition of the College as an ideal destination for exceptionally qualified faculty and students aligned with its mission. Members commit to staying informed on strategic priorities of the College, supporting ongoing fundraising efforts, and opening doors within their networks and connections.

The Council’s efforts will be consistent with the Fertitta College of Medicine mission and goals as well as Liaison Committee on Medical Education accreditation standards, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accreditation standards and other applicable guidelines and standards.
