Press release from City of Fort Worth: January 13, 2022 After a successful collaboration that resulted in the creation of one of the nation's newest allopathic medical schools, TCU announced that the school is now the TCU School of Medicine. The former TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine will advance to its next chapter by transitioning to become a college solely within its degree-granting institution, Texas Christian University. "This is an exciting and transformational medical school with remarkable students," TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. said. "We are grateful to UNTHSC for their partnership and for all of the hard work and dedication needed to get this school launched successfully. Our graduates will be Empathetic Scholars and will benefit from the vision of both schools, for years to come." The medical school will graduate its first class in 2023 and is currently recruiting its fourth class, which will begin in July 2022. The TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine was announced in 2015 with the vision of becoming an innovative medical school that would contribute to Fort Worth's growing bioscience sector. With the support of community leaders, philanthropists and foundations, the School of Medicine was launched and has grown to become a home for talented medical students and a pioneering resource in a rapidly expanding regional health care landscape. While the school was formed as a collaboration, TCU is the governing university for the School of Medicine, and all faculty have TCU faculty appointments.     Photo: The TCU Medical School will graduate its first class in 2023.     Get articles like this in your inbox.
