Training the next generation of medical staff is a big priority for Dr.Gurrapu to extend the medical workforce serving the broader North Texas communities.

It has been a true privilege and a pleasure for us to be working with several medical, nursing colleges and area hospitals. Dr.Gurrapu believes in continuous learning and encourages more research in new technologies and new treatments.

Each year, several college, nursing and high school students work with our staff and take lead in writing technical articles and doing research in specific areas. Research papers written by our students along with their videos/visual aids are listed below.
