Texas A&M University Health Science Center

Texas A&M University Health Science Center is Transforming Health through innovative research, education and service in dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health and medical sciences. Founded in 1999, the health science center was established as an independent state agency of Texas A&M University System to organize all health-related entities across the system into one comprehensive health-related institution. Founding academic units included the College of Medicine, Baylor College of Dentistry, Institute of Biosciences and Technology, and the then-proposed School of Rural Public Health. Following creation of the Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy in 2006 and a College of Nursing in 2008, the institution transitioned in 2013 into an academic unit of Texas A&M University while still maintaining its state agency status.

As the most comprehensive health science center in Texas, TAMHSC is dedicated to addressing today’s health care needs through forward-thinking medical research, service and health professions education. Impacting nearly every county in the State of Texas with education, research and outreach programs, the health science center operates eight campuses located in Bryan-College Station, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Houston, Kingsville, McAllen, Round Rock and Temple. This geographically dispersed, multi-disciplinary model allows for innovative team training that supports the common goal of Transforming Health.
