UTB-CBIRD Report: “At The Crossroads” Economic Development 130 The University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB)/Texas Southmost College (TSC) offers certification programs and two- and four-year degrees in a variety of health-related disciplines through the School of Health Sciences. UTB/TSC prepares technicians of emergency medicine and medical laboratory, professional radiological and respiratory therapy technicians as well as undergraduate nursing programs. Graduate studies in the sciences and healthrelated fields are more limited. The College of Science, Mathematics, & Technology at UTB offers Master of Science on an Interdisciplinary Studies Master’s degree with a concentration in biology. The continuing education program at UTB prepares medical assistants and offers course in medical transcription. Distance education facilities provide opportunities to acquire a bachelor degree in nursing and to prepare technicians in respiratory therapy. Texas State Technical College (TSTC) in Harlingen offers certificates and associate of applied science degrees in health related technological fields such as biomedical engineering technology, chemical technology, dental laboratory technology, emerging medical technology, health information technology, and surgical technology. Through the “College Connections” program TSTC cooperates with local high schools and offers juniors and seniors courses in health science technology, health science occupation, and family health needs. Local medical clinics also have training programs. For example Valley Regional Medical Center has teaching programs for nurses and physicians. Valley Baptist Medical Center trains its employees and offers three-year residency program for family practitioners in cooperation with Su Clinica Familiar. In short, traditionally, regional health-related educational facilities have trained supportive medical personnel such as technicians, nurses, medial assistants and not medical professionals such as general practitioners or specialists. However, with the recent formation of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Regional Academic Medical Center (RAHC), it is now possible to locally acquire comprehensive skills in internal medicine and obstetrics/gynecology and a program in pediatrics will be launched in 2004. Lower Rio Grande Valley Regional Academic Health Center (RAHC) 1 The Lower Rio Grande Valley Regional Academic Health Center (RAHC) was created to provide state-of-the-art undergraduate and graduate medical education and research opportunities to meet the region’s growing need for physicians and other healthcare providers. The RAHC includes three major divisions: A Medical Education Division in Harlingen and McAllen, Medical Research in Edinburg, and Public Health in Brownsville. The UT Board of Regents designated The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) to oversee and operate the Medical Education and Medical Research Divisions while the Public Health Division was designated as a branch of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston’s School of Public Health. RAHC’s undergraduate and graduate medical education facility, located in Harlingen, currently supports 24 third-year and 24 fourth-year medical students as well as residency programs under the sponsorship of Valley Baptist Medical Center (VBMC) which will afford medical graduates the ability to remain in the 1 The 75 th Texas Legislature enacted S.B. 606, authorized The University of Texas System to establish and operate a Regional Academic Health Center (RAHC) to serve the four counties of the Lower Rio Grande Valley (Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr and Willacy). The Legislature appropriated $30 million of Tuition Revenue Bond Proceeds for construction of the RAHC. 2 Laura B.

Una Region -- Un Futuro “The winners here will be the children and the people who are depending on quality healthcare.” State Senator Eddie Lucio Jr. “I was in the ninth grade and I told my father I wanted to be a doctor. When I told him we were out in the fields picking cantaloupe... his response was, ‘Si mijo.” Dr. Leonel Vela, Dean RAHC native of Pharr and son of a Valley farm worker
