Texas Cares COVID Antibody Survey
The Texas Coronavirus
Antibody Response Survey , or
Texas CARES , is a survey that will help us better understand the human antibody response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Survey participants will help us measure things like how many people in the survey have COVID-19 antibodies, and how long those antibodies last.
Spanish Meducation® Is Now Online
Spanish Meducation® is the practical
medical Spanish program offered through the Travis County Medical Society.
The eight-week program (meeting once a week) is designed for all health care professionals, including physicians, pharmacists, nurses, therapists, social workers, technicians, emergency personnel, and their support staff. The classes develop beginning, intermediate and advanced conversational skills in general Spanish with a concentration on health care situations while grammar takes a back seat.
