The academic programs at UT School of Public Health San Antonio will leverage the methods-to-research-to-practice and service continuum to conduct transdisciplinary, intersectional, multi-sectoral research. They will identify and advocate for new resources for future infrastructure needs and evaluate, plan and expand the necessary equipment, organizational structures, faculty and staff to enable excellence in public health research. The program curriculum will emphasize experiential learning opportunities, offering the advantages of active engagement and hands-on experience with school and community partners.
