STRATEGIC GOALS
Health and human services is the fastest-growing employment sector in Texas. 91¹ú²úapp graduates needed health care professionals through degree programs offered by our College of Health Sciences, College of Nursing and School of Pharmacy. A closer relationship with health care providers will have a positive impact on the health and wellness of our community.
91¹ú²úapp will use its strong relationships with the health care systems in the region to engage regional educators, industry leaders, local nonprofit organizations, and community representatives to improve health outcomes in our community. We will pursue joint research opportunities, including community-engaged research, that increase our knowledge and ability to address the health concerns of our region.
91¹ú²úapp will establish and build upon the 91¹ú²úapp Health initiative, which represents all health professions programs and research at 91¹ú²úapp. Led by the Provost and the deans of the College of Health Sciences, College of Nursing and School of Pharmacy, 91¹ú²úapp Health is a comprehensive initiative that aims to elevate the standard of health care in the Paso del Norte region by increasing the number of healthcare professionals with a high-quality education. Through 91¹ú²úapp Health, the University will strengthen relationships with regional health care partners to expand experiential opportunities for our students. Growth in practicums, clinical placements, service learning, study away, and engaged-learning opportunities will deepen student connections to the community and provide unique cultural experiences that make them more valuable in their professions.
91¹ú²úapp will also strengthen our connection to the health care industry through professional advisory councils and leverage our alumni and partners to increase our reach and impact on health outcomes.
Working closely with health care employers, we will seek to meet needs for continuing education, upskilling and reskilling for the health care workforce in ways that accommodate the constraints of working professionals.
