Venue description

The University of Texas School of Allied Health Sciences (SAHS) at Galveston became the first allied health professions school in the Southwest when it opened its doors in 1968. Since then, the school has graduated nearly 6,000 health care practitioners, most of who work in the health care industry. More importantly, most SAHS alumni practice in Texas, fulfilling the school’s goal to help meet the ever-increasing health care needs of the state’s residents. The SAHS offers two baccalaureate degree programs-Clinical Laboratory Sciences and Respiratory Care-and three master’s degrees-Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Physician Assistant Studies. The teaching environment of the school supports its educational purpose. The UTMB medical complex serves as one autonomous learning laboratory for all students. UTMB’s six Galveston hospitals and 100 plus outpatient clinics, emergency room, and research laboratories are an integral part of allied health education. The four-story School of Allied Health Sciences/ School of Nursing Building, which opened its doors in 1986, houses state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, multipurpose auditoria, a Learning Resource Center, student lounge, cafeteria areas, and faculty and administrative offices.
