"It turned out to be a good move. I was close to home; family was still there to support me; and the classes at TSC were small enough that you really had a personal relationship with each instructor. They knew you and what your potential was."

He went on to study pathology at Baylor College of Medicine and earned a master’s degree in pathology from George Washington University School of Medicine. He served his residency in oral and maxillofacial pathology – diseases of the head and neck – at the National Naval Medical Center Hospital in Bethesda, MD.

After five years in private practice, Nunez entered the military.
