Founded as the Texas A&M College of Medicine in 1977, the charter class of 32 students began their medical training on Texas A&M University's campus. 1981 marked the year the first medical degrees were awarded, and since then, more than 2,258 physicians have graduated from Texas A&M School of Medicine.[citation needed] In 1999, the College joined the newly created Texas A&M Health Science Center. During a series of Texas A&M organizational changes in 2021, the College of Medicine was redesignated the School of Medicine.[2]
The School's mission is to improve the health and well-being of the people of Texas through excellence in education, research and health care delivery. The MD curriculum consists of 1.5 years of pre-clinical curriculum followed by 2.5 years of clinical training.
The School of Medicine operates 5 different campus tracks: 4 different sites around the state for the regular MD students and one site for the EnMed MD/MEng students.[3]
