The Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine, part of the University of Houston, is a higher education institution dedicated to medical education with a mission to improve health in underserved communities in Houston and across Texas. In response to Texas' shortage of primary care physicians, the college emphasizes training in primary care, with a focus on urban and rural areas that experience poorer health outcomes. Its program seeks to prepare physicians who can provide comprehensive care while addressing broader factors that influence health.

The college's education approach centers on clinically oriented training aimed at overall wellness rather than solely treating disease. It emphasizes addressing social and economic determinants of health and collaborating with professionals such as social workers, nurses, lawyers, and community health workers to reduce health disparities in high-priority communities. Based in Houston, Texas, the college operates within the University of Houston and participates in the broader higher education and research environment.
