Description

In this segment, Dr. Stances shares some of his private life and perspectives. He talks about his long-time participation in the Ride for Multiple Sclerosis, a bike ride between Houston and Austin that hundred of people participate in, including many teams of Houston medical professionals. Among his professional achievements, he is most proud of developing new educational programs from scratch or significantly modifying them. He is also proud of having taught every single medical student who has come through the Texas Medical School, as well as teaching students in every school in the health science center, including graduate students at MD Anderson. He concludes the interview with a snapshot of what he would like to achieve in his remaining time in administration: a maximization of intellectual cooperation between all the University of Texas components and other institutions in Houston. He hopes that institutions might find ways of overcoming unhealthy rivalry and “build a better family” of biomedical intellectuals and institutions that might serve as “better stewards of public trust.”
