Nehman M Andry , M.D.

Associate Professor/Clinical

Director of Medical Student Education

I am a native Texan and have called San Antonio home for over 25 years. I became interested in medicine at age 12 when my father passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. I graduated from Douglas Mac Arthur High School and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from St. Marys University. I completed medical school and Family Medicine residency at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. I am a board certified family mediice physician. Teaching, mentoring, and service are my greatest passions.  I teach and mentor students and residents at all stages of their training in the hospital, clinic, community, and classroom. I am the Family Medicine Clerkship Director, a Synthesis case facilitator for first year medical students, a longitudinal preceptor for pre-clinical medical students, Associate Director of the Residency Research Network of Texas (RRNeT) and student research mentor, a mentor to students in the Global Health elective, and a mentor to students in the Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG) and those interested in pursuing a career in family medicine.

Since 2010, I have provided primary care to patients of all ages in the Family Health Center (FHC) at the University Health System Robert B. Green Campus. As an attending physician for the FHC Well Child Clinic, I provide check-ups and sports physicals, manage and coordinate care for children with chronic medical and mental health conditions, and address the acute needs of pediatric walk-ins. I am the main faculty member in the department who cares for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In addition, I serve as an attending physician for the Family Medicine Inpatient Service at University Hospital periodically throughout the year.  My professional home is the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM). I have presented scholarly work regularly at STFMs national meetings since 2013. In 2015, I completed STFMs Medical Student Educators Developmental Institute (MSEDI), a one year fellowship for medical student educators. In 2016, I was selected to a 3 year term (2016-2019) on the Steering Committee for STFMs Medical Student Education Collaborative to address educational needs of students and faculty throughout the country. In February 2018, I completed 2 years of service as Co-Editor for the STFM Messenger Education Column, a peer-reviewed monthly electronic publication sent to all STFM members.
