From The Desk Of The Founding Dean
Dr. Michael A. Escamilla - I spent the week introducing Dr. Escamilla, the new chair of Psychiatry, to faculty and staff. He is a welcomed addition and I know that his research efforts will help Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Paul L. Foster School of Medicine grow into a leading entity. Please read a short biography on Dr. Escamilla below.
White House Fellows - Next week the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine will host White House Fellows on campus. White House Fellows are exceptional individuals who receive first-hand experience working at the highest levels of federal government. They work with senior White House Staff, Cabinet Secretaries and other top-ranking government officials while participating in educational programs consisting of roundtable discussions with renowned leaders. We are pleased to not only be attracting the research community but also those interested in political policies that will affect our long term goals along the border.
El Paso Baby Café - Congratulations to everyone that has made the El Paso Baby Café a success. It's been open for over a year now and has offered many new mothers support with their breastfeeding experience. On Friday, February 5, they will celebrate with an Open House from 3 - 5 p.m. at 5032 Montana, in the Chelmont Shopping Center. I encourage anyone who can get away - especially expectant mothers - to stop by and see what a wonderful place the El Paso Baby Café is.
Jose Manuel de la Rosa, M.D.
