Student Professional Development
The UTEP College of Health Sciences plays a significant role in preparing caring and competent healthcare professionals to serve the Paso del Norte region, with approximately three quarters of graduates remaining in the area after graduation. Our college offers undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degrees that lead to employment in the fastest growing body of professions in the nation. As a compliment to the curriculum, our faculty engage students in a variety of professional development experiences, including being part of research teams addressing the most pressing health challenges, with a particular focus on health disparities among underserved populations. These opportunities often lead to invitations for students to present their work at national conferences and meetings.
On Raise Your Pick Giving Day, we are asking our alumni and community for support to expand access to these opportunities for professional development and networking, ensuring more students graduate with a competitive edge, ready to assume leadership positions in their fields.
We hope you will raise your pick for student professional development on April 21st and 22nd! Thank you in advance for your investment in our students’ futures.
The College of Health Sciences is also seeking assistance to purchase equipment to enhance student learning in our Rehabilitation Sciences Complex as well as for a fund to support students in need.
