Dr. de la Rosa has been instrumental in developing a unique curriculum that prepares students to practice medicine on the border and beyond, said Kathryn Horn, MD, an associate professor at the health sciences center, who nominated him for the award. Dr. de la Rosa helped establish
the Kellogg Community Partnership Clinics, school-based clinics run by medical students that provide health services to colonia residents in the El Paso area. He also designed a com- munity medicine curriculum — now a nationwide model — that teaches cul- tural sensitivity, awareness, and com- petence in medicine. And he champi- oned a requirement that all medical students at the school take medical Spanish. “Dr. de la Rosa works tirelessly
to meet the health care needs in El Paso and beyond,” said Dr. Horn. “He strives to eliminate social barriers so that all residents have access to the health care they need.” Dr. de la Rosa received his medi-
cal degree from Texas Tech Univer- sity Health Sciences Center School of Medicine in Lubbock. He completed his residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He received a master of science degree in clinical epidemiology from Harvard School of Public Health. Dr. de la Rosa was among 18 physi-
cians recognized by TMA at its annual meeting through the academic award program. n
