ADVANCING MEDICINE FOR TEXANS AND THE WORLD At the Texas A&M University Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine, we advance medicine to lead Texans—and the world—towards a healthier future. Founded in 1977 through the Teague-Cranston Act to serve veterans and the underserved, we’ve grown into a community-based, research-driven academic medical institution that combines world-class education, compassionate care, and translational innovation. Whether in rural clinics, urban hospitals, NASA labs, or classrooms across the state, we equip leaders to solve healthcare’s biggest challenges with purpose, empathy, and the power of the Aggie spirit. WHAT WE STAND FOR Pioneering Research & Innovation From space-based physiology to Alzheimer’s breakthroughs, our research transforms lives through bold, boundary-pushing science. Unwavering Compassion & Selfless Service Our students and faculty live by Aggie core values, meeting people in their communities delivering care and service with heart, humility, and humanity. Personalized Patient Care for All Whether through concierge clinics, rural rotations, or veteran health initiatives, we deliver care tailored to each patient’s story and community. Unrivaled Education & Collaboration With a statewide footprint and community-based model, we offer flexible, immersive training for the next generation of leaders in medicine. MISSION Our mission is to develop accomplished, forward-thinking, compassionate, and ethical Aggie leaders to pioneer the future of health in Texas and beyond. VISION Our vision is to be a distinguished and recognized leader in medical education, research, and patient care. By trailblazing the Aggie way through innovation, service, excellence, and compassion, we will advance health care for humanity and improve lives for generations to come.
