Who we are?
The Office of Health Professions Careers at the Brownsville Campus plays an important role in the education of undergraduate learners to ensure students’ success in the health professions. We provide pre-health students with the guidance and essential tools to achieve academic success and become excellent candidates for health professions graduate school. We are committed to ensure the success of our student population and to serve as part of a Bilingual, Bicultural, and Biliterate (B3) institution.
What we do?
-
Pre-health student success: We provide the resources and support needed to achieve pre-health student success.
-
Better grad school candidates: We assist and guide our students to become better candidates for health professions graduate schools.
