Its name was changed to the Jane and Robert Cizik School of Nursing at UTHealth Houston in 2017 in recognition of a gift of $25 million that endowed scholarships, faculty chairs, and research in addition to a distinguished lecture series.
These tracks are also offered as a post-graduate certificate program for MSN- or DNP-prepared nurses who desire additional education and/or role preparation.
It provides occupational health care for UTHealth employees and a variety of other companies and organizations throughout the Houston area.
Faculty and students within Cizik School of Nursing's Department of Research pursue scientific inquiry on a wide range of subjects, including vulnerable and underserved populations, nonpharmaceutical pain management, aging-in-place technology, and tracking and management of disease symptoms.
[13] Diane M. Santa Maria, DrPH, MSN, RN, was appointed as the fifth dean in the Cizik School of Nursing's history, effective September 1, 2020.
