UTMB in the News


Saw the following story this morning on the Houston Chronicle website. Not very encouraging for current or incoming students.

Ok I am not faculty but I do know that the HC article posted above has half truths and isn't reporting the whole story.

All I know is this... they complain about UTMB being in trouble... and who knows, maybe they will be some day... but right now they have the highest pass rate in the state of Texas for the nclex AND one of the highest graduation rates as well... in the 90%s.... they must be doing something right...

Scroll down to near the bottom of the page and read the comment from UTMB provost Garland D. Anderson, VP.

It helps to know a little more than just one side of the story.
