Congratulations to Venessa Cobarrubias!
One of our PA alumnus has been selected for the 2022-2023 Class of White House Fellows.

Vanessa Cobarrubias is from Harlingen, Texas, and is placed at the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of the First Lady focusing on the Cancer Moonshot Initiative. After receiving a Bachelor of Communication Arts from St. Mary’s University and prior to transitioning into healthcare, Vanessa was an accomplished educator and speech language pathology assistant. Since obtaining a Master of Physician Assistant Studies at the University of Texas – Rio Grande Valley, she has worked tirelessly to serve the Rio Grande community (an area in which COVID-related deaths were twice that of the rest of the state of Texas) throughout the pandemic. In addition to overseeing antibody infusions for over 10,000 patients, she founded and worked diligently on a door-to-door vaccine awareness program serving the region’s indigent population. A community-recognized “Texas Healthcare Hero,” this daughter of educators and granddaughter of immigrant farmworkers is driven to empower those who cannot speak for themselves.

The Latest in HIV Prevention – NCCPA PA Ambassador Talks PrEP Injectable Treatment

Martha Patricia Rodriguez, PA-C did not plan to specialize in HIV. As a new mom, she was desperate to find a job with a family friendly schedule. She searched for PA jobs that would provide the flexibility she needed, and a position in HIV care turned up from a simple online job search. Today, Rodriguez practices in the only HIV clinic in Rio Grande Valley, Texas; and in July 2022, she was part of the health care team that administered the first HIV prevention injectable treatment at the clinic.


The College of Health Professions in collaboration with other Health and Wellness Organizations will be holding a Community Health Fair at the McAllen Public Library.

Saturday, July 30, 2022 at 10AM - 1PM
