Collaboration and partnership leads to innovation, and we are dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of our service members, veterans, and their dependents.
Military Health Interest Group (MHIG)
The UT Health San Antonio Military Health Interest Group (MHIG) is a student-led activity that welcomes the participation of students from all five of the University’s professional schools. With the support of the MHI, the group meets regularly as a forum for learning about careers in military health and seeks to educate members about military medicine.

Our team serves as a conduit for military-civilian information exchange, helping implement lessons from the battlefield to the civilian setting as well as get medical innovations into the hands of service members. We help provide our researchers with the tools and training to develop healthcare advancements from bench-to-bedside for the advancement of health for all.
