UTMB or UT-Houston?

Published

Hi all,

Does anyone know which BACC-2 program is better out of UTMB and UT-Houston? Besides the fact that UTMB is located in Galveston, what other differences are there?

Thank you very much to anyone that answers!! ;-)

I would definitely say UTMB, not just because I'm a student there but because of the friendliness and strong ties UTMB has with the local community. Since joining this university, I am a member of two student organizations that combine medical, allied health, and nursing students together for achieving a positive outcome. We get to work together in community health fairs, take field trips to South Texas, and even play each other in intramural sports!

One of the organizations I'm in participates and organizes several community outreach programs geared towards serving Galveston's uninsured and underserved populations.

Also UTMB has been recently been on the move toward implementing something called "synergy." In a nutshell, this is interdisciplinary education which combines the resources and expertise from all four schools at UTMB. For example, this semester in select nursing classes we have had some lecturers done by faculty members from our medical school and vice versa. This has made our education amazing and UTMB an excellent choice for me and several other students.

Hi guys. I realize this forum was made 2 years ago. Im hoping to find out if there are any BACC2 graduates here? I start the UTMB BACC2 program January 2011.

Can you tell me what the program was like? How manageable it was. A bunch of us hardly have any idea what we are getting ourselves into, and NO ONE can give us a straight answer. I figured it would be good to try my luck with past forums. Any info/advice/insight is much appreciated!
