Cougar Doctors

One of the University of Houston's most accomplished physician alums is now giving a helping hand to the next generation of Cougar doctors.

Louis Green, a prominent surgeon and NSM graduate, and his wife established the Louis H. Green, M.D. and Barbara Schatchtel-Green, Ph.D. Endowed Scholarship for Pre-Medical Students.

Green graduated from UH in 1943 with a degree in biology and earned a medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. During a 32-year career, he was affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine, where he served as clinical professor of surgery, and Methodist Hospital.

He is also the past president of the UH Alumni Organization and was named a distinguished alumnus in 1989. In 2005 Green delivered the NSM commencement address.
