How to Find Events and Subscribe to Updates on the McGovern Medical School Site

The McGovern Medical School homepage (med.uth.edu) gives you two direct routes: a Calendar section for upcoming events and a Scoop newsletter signup for ongoing news and events. Both are reachable from the homepage itself, so you don't need to dig through menus. The calendar shows a rolling list of dated items, and the Scoop section has a "Subscribe Now" link. If you want research and feature stories rather than events, the same page also links to "Under the Microscope" and the annual "McGovern Medicine" report.

Finding events on the Calendar

The homepage's Calendar heading lists upcoming events with dates attached. Based on the page, examples include:

To use it:

1. Go to med.uth.edu.
2. Scroll to the Calendar section.
3. Read the dated entries to see what's coming up.
4. Select an event to get its details (the homepage shows titles and dates; full logistics live on the event's own page).

What to expect: the calendar is a short preview list, not a full searchable database. If the event you want isn't in the visible list, check back later or look for a fuller calendar link from the event page.

Common snag: dates are shown without a year on the homepage, so confirm the year on the individual event page before you plan travel or registration.

Subscribing to the Scoop newsletter

The Scoop section exists specifically to keep you current on "the latest news and events at McGovern Medical School," and it includes a Subscribe Now link.

1. Go to med.uth.edu.
2. Find the Scoop heading.
3. Select Subscribe Now.
4. Complete the subscription form that opens.

What to expect: a recurring newsletter covering news and events. The homepage does not state a frequency, cost, or whether an account is required, so treat those as unknown until you see the signup form itself.

Other update sources on the same page

If events aren't your main interest, the homepage surfaces three more content channels:

• Under the Microscope — "the latest breakthroughs, innovations, and discoveries shaping research at McGovern Medical School." Use this if you want research updates rather than calendar items.
• McGovern Medicine — the annual report covering "stories, milestones, and innovations." The full issue opens via an external link, so you'll leave med.uth.edu to read it.
• Headlines — current news items, such as leadership appointments, an in-memoriam notice, and national ranking results for pediatric programs.

Which route to pick

• You want to attend something specific → start with the Calendar and confirm details on the event page.
• You want a steady feed of news and events → subscribe to Scoop.
• You want research or institutional stories → use Under the Microscope, McGovern Medicine, or Headlines.

All four are on the homepage, so the fastest path is to load med.uth.edu once and scan the section headings rather than searching the site.
