The medical school in Fort Worth that was founded by Texas Christian University and the UNT Health Science Center will now be known as the TCU School of Medicine. Degrees will be granted only by TCU.
"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."
The two institutions joined forces in 2015 to launch the school. The first students started in 2019 and the first class is scheduled to graduate in 2023. University officials say those students should not notice any disruptions.
"The successful collaboration between HSC and TCU to bring the school of medicine to our community has been critical in raising the profile of healthcare in our community," Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker said. "The innovative leadership and expertise both universities brought in creating this medical school will continue to have a positive impact in our community for generations to come."
