Major Educational, Research, and Clinical Affiliations

The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston has numerous affiliation agreements with other institutions and agencies in the greater Houston area and in the state. These affiliation agreements stem from the need to provide a variety of appropriate clinical experiences for students and residents; to formally align with research collaborators; and to provide a means for faculty to share their experiences and expertise widely in the greater community. While the Medical School has the greatest need for affiliations that provide clinical experience, the School of Nursing and the Dental Branch also depend heavily on clinical preceptors and clinics in the community to educate students.

In research, the health science center and UT M D Anderson Cancer Center, together with the Texas A&M Institute of Biosciences and Technology, interact extensively in research and educational efforts in the medical center. Many faculty have joint appointments within the health science center and UT M D Anderson, where students and residents gain clinical experience.

The health science center also has numerous affiliations with other colleague institutions, including a dozen major hospitals, city and neighborhood clinics and public schools. Please refer to school Web sites for additional information.
