History

Founded in 1970, the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine anchors what today is one of the nation’s premier graduate academic health centers. Our curriculum is delivered in an interdisciplinary model which closely mirrors real-world clinical settings. Students learn to work in teams and to develop communication skills that are patient centric.

 Collaboration is encouraged among the six colleges. In addition to TCOM, HSC includes the College of Biomedical and Translational Sciences, College of Public Health, UNT System College of Pharmacy, College of Nursing and the College of Health Professions — home to the departments of Physician Assistant Studies and Physical Therapy.
