Ruben Rathnasingham, PhD Dell Medical School @ UT Austin

Growing a health innovation-related economy

What makes us different?

• Built on the foundation of a Tier 1 research university

(the first medical school in nearly 50 years built at an AAU/Association of American Universities member school)

• Unprecedented partnership with our community

($35 million annual investment by Travis County taxpayers)

What does that mean?

• Likely a long time, if ever

before another AMC/Tier 1 Research

• Opportunity to start from scratch

groundbreaking curriculum, diverse team, no bad habits or old ways of doing things

• Medical School as change agent

focus on measurably improving health in our community

• Redefine the model of academic medicine

changing the business model
