The John Sealy School of Medicine, located in Galveston, Texas, is the graduate medical school associated with the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). Established in 1891 as the University of Texas Medical Department, it is the oldest medical school in the state of Texas.
On March 10, 2022, UTMB announced that the School of Medicine would be renamed to the John Sealy School of Medicine in honor of the over $1 billion dollars donated to the university and medical school by the Sealy family and the Sealy & Smith Foundation over the last century.
