Medical Spanish Track                         

Patient-physician communication and the ability to speak in the patient’s preferred language is a key component to successful patient care. Almost 30% of Texans speak Spanish at home, highlighting the importance of increasing the number of physicians who are fluent in medical Spanish. The Medical Spanish Track for family medicine residents has been developed to train track participants in delivering culturally responsive and respectful care to Spanish-speaking patients in their native language.

URM Scholarship Immersion       

Focusing on racial/ethnic minority faculty and learners who are underrepresented in medicine (URM), this experience affords a resident physician the opportunity to contribute to research and scholarly projects to promote the recruitment and retention of faculty, learners and resident physicians who are underrepresented in medicine. Resident physicians, working from an individualized learning plan and schedule, will assist in the developing of research questions, designing projects and writing manuscripts, with the goal of authorship of a peer reviewed manuscript before completion of residency training.
