DR. CLAY JOHNSTON'S VISION FOR THE NEW UT
DELL MEDICAL SCHOOL COMbINES INNOVATION
AND PARTNERSHIPS, AND ENCOURAGES US ALL
TO MAKE SMARTER CHOICES.
by fred zipp
As the Universit y of Texas Dell Medical School rises from
its const ruction site on the east side of campus, its dean,
Dr. Clay Johnston, is not far off. He's rushing to his next
meeting, walking down five stories from his temporary
office, across university grounds, and up another four f lights
of stairs. Along the way, he shares his vision for not only the
school, the first medical campus to be built at a major university
in decades, but also for Austin's healthcare in general (his
"no-elevator" approach hints at his overall philosophy).
Dr. Clay Johnston is encouraged
by the progress of his latest
project: a first-class medical
school at the University of Texas.
