Castro Announces $1 Million Award to University of Texas at San Antonio

Washington, D.C.— Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, today released the following statement:

“Texas and the nation face a physician shortage that harms our economy, reduces the medical workforce, and puts many rural hospitals at risk. As medicine continues to rapidly evolve, I’m glad to see San Antonio emerging as a leader in educational opportunities to create the next generation of medical professionals. I welcome this grant which will generate opportunities for students in biomedical sciences, especially those who are underrepresented in the field, and support vital research that will help people across our nation.”
