To co-ordinate and support the student and primary care medical residents' health care and education activities, Frontera has established an administrative center housed in the Institute for the Medical Humanities (IMH) at UTMB. The IMH, established in 1973, is the nation's premier graduate-level medical humanities education institution and is especially suited to the task of housing Frontera as both work to promote the core values and humane ideal of health care.
