Up to four students will have the exclusive opportunity to have a behind-the-scenes view of the operations of University Hospital hosted by Tim Brierty, Chief Executive Officer. During the morning, the students will have the opportunity to tour the hospital, including the nationally-recognized Level I Trauma Center, and meet with professionals from both the medical and operations staff for guidance on careers in medicine and hospital administration.

For the past four years, University Hospital has been ranked the best in the San Antonio region by U.S. News & World Report, and is among the top 50 in the nation for the care of kidney disease. University Hospital’s Emergency Department is the busiest in the region, with nearly 70,000 visits each year. It is the premier trauma center for a vast, 22-county region of South Texas — one of only 15 Level I trauma centers in Texas. And it is home to the highest designated pediatric trauma center in the region, and the only center in South Texas for the care of children with serious burns.
