The faculty member will be teaching resource sessions/lectures and providing laboratory demonstrations in Anatomy, Embryology and Histology to MD students in the pre-clerkship curriculum. Specifically, the concerned course module is Language of Medicine.

Plans, conducts, monitors, and analyzes research projects to include interpreting results, developing nonstandard tests, recommending technology-based solutions, or determining computational strategies; formulates and monitors long-range research objectives, programs, and priorities; reviews, analyzes, and evaluates the impact of legislation, regulations, and policies affecting current research.

The Language of Medicine module is one that extends laterally across other course modules and longitudinally into both years of the pre-clerkship MD curriculum. It provides an integrated approach to the anatomical, embryological and histological details relevant to each organ system, while also developing the clinical skills required to advance towards the clerkship phase of the curriculum. In addition to addressing the underlying basic science, this module also addresses relevant pathological changes seen either anatomically, histologically or during embryological development, in response to disease, injury or genetic abnormalities. This module encourages the development of skills that promote the use of evidence-based approaches towards the understanding, mitigation and treatment of disease.

The faculty member will also be required to serve as a facilitator in the Problem based learning components of the modules across the entire pre-clerkship curriculum. Additionally, this position requires involvement with academic assessment, student academic remediation, individualized tutoring of students, along with any other relevant administrative duties that may be assigned by the concerned departmental chair.

      Working at The University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley

       

      A New University with a Long History

      The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley was created by the Texas Legislature in 2013 in a historic move that brings together the resources and assets of UT Brownsville and UT Pan American and, for the first time, makes it possible for residents of the Rio Grande Valley to benefit from the Permanent University Fund—a public endowment contributing support to the University of Texas System and the Texas A&M University System.

       

      Our new university will also be home to a School of Medicine and will transform Texas and the nation by becoming a leader in student success, teaching, research, and health care. UTRGV will enroll its first class in the fall of 2015, and the School of Medicine will open in 2016.

       

      UT Brownsville and UT Pan American

      The shared history of The University of Texas Pan American and The University of Texas at Brownsville goes back to 1927, when Edinburg College was founded. In 1973, Pan American opened a second campus in Brownsville, which later became an independent institution of The University of Texas System in 1991. Over the years, the missions and the identities of these great institutions have continually evolved to serve the communities of the Rio Grande Valley.

      Now, the evolution and connection between these two institutions is coming full circle as UT Brownsville and UT Pan American are being established as a single, new university and medical school, with a single, new identity—The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
