PMCH is the academic unit at UTMB that focuses
on promoting human health and function through the integration of:
• Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Sciences
• Public Health and Population Health Sciences
• Clinical Sciences
Through our education, research, and service activities, we share our expertise in these sciences with the campus and broader communities.
“As educators of the people in matters concerning the public health of the community, as well as the health of the individual, the physician and the public press are the most potent factors. I sincerely trust you will not regard dosing your patients as your only duty and that you will pay due attention to the prevention of disease.”
William Spencer Carter, professor of physiology, speaking at the 1900 UTMB Commencement ceremony.
Dr. Carter later became the Dean of Medicine at UTMB.
