Overview
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine is a 4-year MD-granting program that matriculated its first class in 2016. The School was built to provide healthcare in a region riddled with health disparities and to improve the health outcomes for the people of RGV. The curriculum at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine is given through multiple different modes of instruction, including problem-based learning, cases, lab sessions, and flipped classroom sessions.

Sessions for the Academic Houses are mandatory.
