Abstract: El Paso's efforts to move beyond low-wage manufacturing and services jobs will get a boost from next year's opening of a new medical school. Along with other new and expanded health care facilities, the school could serve as a catalyst for bringing well-paying professional jobs to West Texas. ; The Paul L. Foster School of Medicine will be the 10th medical school in Texas and the state's first new one since 1977. Perhaps more important, it will be the first U.S. medical school along the 2,000-mile border with Mexico.
