SHP Academic Affairs

Welcome from the Office of Academic Affairs

The mission of the SHP Academic Affairs is to serve as a liaison for SHP students and departments with other UTMB university offices and services, to facilitate the creation of program curricula and educational programming that fulfills the university's and School of Health Profession's missions, and to enhance students' academic success by developing student skills, cultivating varied, interprofessional campus life experiences and enriching the university community through our programs and services.

The goal of SHP Academic Affairs is to support and guide students as they navigate the university community and to enrich students' academic experience by building an inclusive community, supporting emotional, intellectual, and personal growth, facilitating professional development, and providing guidance toward a professional health career.

We recognize that the SHP Office of Academic Affairs mission complements the school and institution's mission, with the promotion of quality and innovative education, research and service, enhancement of student learning, collaboration, and mutual respect and appreciation for the dignity of all people. We support our SHP departments and programs as they seek to improve the health of the people of Texas and around the world.
