Dr. Bob Basu is pleased to invite non-traditional Texas students in the medical field to apply for the financial award

HOUSTON, April 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- C. Bob Basu, MD, MBA, MPH, FACS of Houston is honored to announce the opening of the second Basu Plastic Surgery Advancing Care Scholarship for Adult Learners.
