UNTHSC Medical School Now Solely TCU’s?


Recommended Posts

Anyone have additional background on this?  I’ve always known about the collaboration between the two schools, but didn’t know the plan was for UNT to cede the new medical school away completely.  What was in it for us then?

This is definitely a change.  UNT's school has always offered a DO.  With this collaboration, UNT was also offering an MD.  It sounds like TCU just piggy-backed on UNT until they were able to take it on their own.

Regardless of what you think of the final outcome, we were taken advantage of.

Are you sure about that?    I don't think this ever happened.

In 2015, UNTHSC and TCU announced the creation of a joint MD school, which will accept its first class of students in 2018.

$25 million gift for TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine

Wow, the UNT Health Science Center (HSC?)sure has distanced itself from affiliation with the University of North Texas.

It was at least formerly the North Texas Health Science Center.

Now, if that logo doesn't get your Mean Green Pride flowing then I don't know what will.

Yes, it sure appears that we've been bamboozled.

The recent job posting included the HSC in the job listing since we are now known as UNT World.
