In an attempt to wrangle a PAC-12 invite, TCU has been counting on the new Medical School to help enhance it's educational standing/gravitas. They have been in the process of implementing Phase I, which is becoming fully accredited, and now are working on Phase II, which is having a Graduate Medical Education (GME) Residency Program. All medical school graduates must complete a period of GME, or residency training, to be licensed to practice medicine in the United States.
Apparently
Texas Health Resources and the
TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine are going to team up to offer a Residency Program here in North Texas, which is a big deal. Residency is where you also see a lot of the coveted research activities.
By July 2022, Texas Health plans to have a total of nearly 50 residents training at
GME program sites in Fort Worth, Hurst-Euless-Bedford, and Denton. That annual number is expected to increase to more than 110 by July 2024.
Now, we just need to get football cranked back up!
