The company and center said Thursday they hope to foster healthcare discovery and innovation through a technology-driven curriculum and training programs for students, clinicians and current physicians.
“Advances in healthcare technology today are driving improvements in patient outcomes and providing greater accessibility to quality care around the globe,” said Sid Nair, vice president and general manager for healthcare and life sciences at Dell Services.
Brett Giroir, TAMHSC CEO, the academy is intended as a think tank to lead the health sector transformation and development of a qualified workforce.
