Of Interest for Nurses

The caregivers who staff UTMB's network of clinics and hospitals provide a comprehensive range of health care services. Areas of clinical excellence include geriatric services, behavioral medicine, diabetes care, and the UTMB HeartCenter. UTMB is also designated a Level 1 Trauma Center and is the lead trauma facility for a nine-county region of southeast Texas.   Since UTMB is one of the nation's leading teaching and research centers, you'll work in an environment where innovative treatments and sophisticated equipment allow you to deliver superior patient care. Because UTMB is the largest multi-categorical medical referral center in Texas, it offers a broad range of specialty areas in which you can exercise your clinical expertise and grow professionally. UTMB's outstanding preceptorships, internships and in-service programs in all nursing areas enable you to earn specialty certification and gain the technical know-how you need to work within our high-tech environment. To assist you in furthering your professional education, we provide 100 percent in-state tuition reimbursement and flexible scheduling. The School of Nursing offers excellent degree programs for nurses at all stages of their education.   We are proud of our Work School Program which provides funds for employees to return to college by paying for tuition, books, fees and paid release time from work in exchange for a working commitment. This is an excellent opportunity for nurses seeking advanced education degrees to make the transition to Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's or Ph.D. degrees. The UTMB campus includes an excellent School of Nursing to help meet these educational goals.
