Fourteen minority college stu
dents interested in the medical field
received a dose of the world of medi
cine this summer.
The students were participants in
the Bridge to Medicine Program,
which provides orientation, encour
agement and support to minority
and disadvantaged students inter
ested in a medical career.
Filomeno G. Maldonado, director
of the Health Career Opportunities
Program, said the Bridge to Medi
cine Program is designed to aid stu
dents in making the transition to
medical school.
“We are trying to facilitate stu
dents’ entry into medical school by
familiarizing them with all aspects of
the admission process and by pro
viding classes that allow them to bet
ter their knowledge in certain cour
ses,” Maldonado said.
Courses are offered in biology,
chemistry, physics, mathematics,
reading and writing. Texas A&M
faculty members teach the courses.
The students participate in ses
sions to review medical college ad
mission tests and learn test-taking
skills. They also are introduced to
professors and medical students.
The program was established in
1986 and is funded by the Depart
ment of Health and Human Re
sources. Fifteen students per year
are accepted through an application
process based on an overall grade-
point ratio of 3.0 or greater and
completion of at least 60 credit
hours including courses in biology,
chemistry, physics and organic
chemistry.
Housing, meals, class materials
and resources are provided for the
students.
The six-week program ended July
22.
Maldonado credits the program
as one of the reasons for the increase
of minority students applying to
medical school.
“Although there has been only a
small increase, it is a significant in
crease,” he said. “I think the increase
is a direct result of programs of this
type being conducted.”
More than 70 percent of the stu
dents participating in the program
have entered into medical school or
health professions.
Building purchase
bilks health group
HOUSTON (AP) — Harris Coun
ty’s mental health authority, under
fire for buying a building for $1.2
million more than it had been sold
for earlier the same day, paid
$420,000 more for the building than
its own appraisal showed it to be
worth.
Richard H. Basden, president of
Parkway Realty Research, which did
the appraisal, said he was “puzzled at
how they could have bought it (the
buidling) for $3.3 million,” since he
had appraised it at $2.88 million.
The county Mental Health and
Mental Retardation Authority also
plans to spend another $500,000 to
remodel the office building into an
outpatient clinic for adult mental
health clients.
The questionable transaction in
volved the president of a company
whose dealings prompted the re
cently disclosed investigation by the
district attorney’s office.
Investigators revealed last week
they were probing the purchase of
the $3.3 million office building. In
vestigators allege John P. Chambers
and his brother, Dunbar Chambers
Jr., defrauded their business part
ners by buying the property from
them for $2.1 million March 29 and
then selling it to the county the same
day at a $ 1.2 million profit.
An appraisal obtained by the au
thority to the purchase valued the
building and land at $2.9 million.
State District Judge Mary Bacon
found there was probably cause to
believe theft had occurred.
