Dr. Adela S. Valdez (b. 1954) has practiced medicine in Harlingen, Texas, where she was born and raised. During more than 20 years of practice, Dr. Valdez has held many positions and accomplished many firsts. She has been a clinical instructor, medical director, professor, New York University Fellow in Health Care Policy, and a graduate of Leadership Texas (an organization which “develops programs and projects to advance and improve the personal, economic, and professional status of women.”). In 2015, Dr. Valdez was named the associate dean of Student Affairs at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine. Yet the thing Valdez values most is simply being a “role model,” paving the way for others with similar backgrounds and obstacles.
