CAREERS
Over the past several decades, the prospects of training for and entering rewarding vocations have improved greatly for people in this part of Texas. And the reason is simple. By bringing so many medical professionals, treatment and research facilities into one area, the South Texas Medical Center has provided an enormous range of career opportunities in the medical field. Many of these provide higher pay, better benefits and potential for faster advancement than other area industries. Locally, education for these careers is provided by medical, dental, nursing and technical schools, as well as training programs associated with specific hospitals, high schools and colleges. And employment that utilizes this training can be found in abundance—in the Medical Center's wide array of hospitals, clinics, private medical practices, labs and research facilities.
