History[]
In July 2015, TCU and the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth (UNTHSC) announced their plans to jointly open an allopathic medical school in Fort Worth.[2] The school received preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education in October 2018 and welcomed its first class of 60 students in July 2019.[1] TCU maintained accredited as the degree-granting institution, with faculty and staff employed by the university, while under joint operation and governance with UNTHSC on the university's campus. For the 2020-2021 application cycle there were 8,190 applications for 60 seats.[3]
On January 12, 2022, TCU and UNTHSC announced the end of their joint partnership, with TCU solely responsible for the operation and governance of the renamed TCU School of Medicine.[4] UNTHSC will continue to operate the separate Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine on their Fort Worth campus.

The school's primary education and research facilities are currently located on the 33-acre UNTHSC campus in the Fort Worth Cultural District, located 3 miles south of the TCU campus. A permanent location has yet to be publicly announced as of January 2022.[5]
