[QUOTE="tcudoc, post: 2952742, member: 44"] What you said may be true, but there is likely a bit more to the story. University of North Texas wanted to open an allopathic (MD) school to run concurrently with its osteopathic (DO) school. I heard it angered quite a few of the osteopathic alumni. The state legislators also thought it was a bad idea to have two programs under the same roof, so it was rejected by the state legislature. That is where TCU came into play. If TCU took the lead and co-branded with University of North Texas, it could get approved. University of North Texas had the infrastructure and TCU had a lot of the other requirements needed. I believe that TCU taking the lead on the branding is intentional to distinguish it from TCOM (UNTHSC). The new school is in its infancy, so it is just classroom activity for the first two years (some schools now do 18 months). So, the first class has likely done little if any actual clinical work. I suspect that the University of North Texas side of the collaboration will become much more prominent as they move into the clinical years. **I am not at all involved and all of this is only speculation based somewhat on some data gathered over the years. I may not have all of the facts but I believe the general idea of my post is relatively accurate. [/QUOTE]
