Government

"Our campus was founded in 2001 with the goal of addressing local health issues through research and intervention. As one of the first locally-based, research institutions to characterize the health issues faced by the region, the campus partnered with key organizations and individuals in the region to implement culturally appropriate, outcome-focused interventions. Since the beginning the faculty, students and staff have worked to be leaders in epidemiologic and intervention research focused on Hispanic populations, and specifically populations on the US-Mexico border... We offer several graduate degrees including a MPH, DrPH in Health Promotion, and a PhD in Epidemiology. In addition, we offer a MD / MPH degree with the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine and a 4+1 degree for undergraduate students with the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Finally, we are incredibly proud to partner with the UTHealth Houston School of Biomedical Informatics to offer space and logistical support for their delivery of an MS in Bioinformatics in the Rio Grande Valley. We are committed to providing high quality education to the current and future health workforce. We encourage you to learn more about this region, the tremendous opportunities we have to offer and come be a part of our public health family."
