Joe R. & Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine
Program/Major: Doctor of Medicine
Eric R. Bready, MD
How will you go forth and change the world?
The field of Interventional Radiology continues to grow and add to an ever increasing list of minimally invasive procedures. I plan to contribute to this list and advance the field. I also plan to be an example to young minds seeking health care as their future. It’s easy for doctors to become tainted by all of the legalities, insurance complexities, and administrative necessities that they deal with. But, we need doctors, and we need to continue to encourage the next generation to pursue medicine.
How do you intend to give back and pay it forward for future students?
Having been the recipient of many kind acts during medical school, I feel that I have remarkable examples to look to when I think about helping future students. Although I currently don’t anticipate returning to San Antonio, Texas, I do plan to advocate and promote the Long School of Medicine. The low cost of attendance and living, the supportive Deans, the helpful attendings and staff, all make UT Health San Antonio the best medical school you could choose. I plan to direct any and all aspiring doctors to this school. I’ve also always been a fan of contributing to my alma mater, and I will continue to do so as I am able.
