Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program

MD PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Admission to the Texas A&M College of Medicine is highly selective, and only individuals who have completed at least 90 semester credit hours (or equivalent quarter hours) of their undergraduate course work at a fully accredited college or university in the United States or Canada are considered.

The College of Medicine prefers that applicants have earned their baccalaureate degree by the time of enrollment. By state mandate, enrollment of individuals who are residents of states other than Texas may not exceed 10 percent.

GENERAL/Public DISCLOSURES

Notice to students pursuing programs that may lead to a professional license or certification required for employment.

The following programs may lead to a career in which a professional license or certification is required for employment. Professional licensure/certification requirements vary from state to state, which may affect a student’s ability to apply for a professional license/certification upon the completion of the program. U.S. Department of Education regulation 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v) requires an institution to disclose a list of states where the institution has determined that the program “Does” or “Does not” meet educational requirements for licensure or certification. The administrative departments that offer the program have made the following determination regarding their curriculum:

In accordance with 34 CFR 668.14(b)(32), Texas A&M University must certify that programs leading to licensure or certification satisfy applicable state educational requirements in the State of Texas and where students enrolled in distance education are located at the initial time of enrollment or where the student attests they intend to seek employment. Therefore, we cannot enroll students in distance education programs from a state where we have determined that the curriculum does not meet professional licensure/certification requirements or where we have yet to make a determination. If you wish to enroll in a distance education program and plan to seek employment in another state which meets the professional licensure/certification requirements, please contact the program to discuss your options.

Each state board, agency, or department has the ultimate authority and discretion to determine whether professional licensure or certification will be issued. We recommend students contact the appropriate state licensing agency in the state where they intend to work to seek the most up-to-date information about state licensure/certification requirements before beginning the program.

CAMPUS TRACKS

The Texas A&M College of Medicine currently enrolls 200 students per year, and distributes students across four campus tracks for clerkship training.

All students participate in an 18-month pre-clerkship phase of education before their clerkship training in one of the campus tracks. Students enrolling in the EnMed track (a fully integrated engineering and medical education curriculum) will be at the Houston campus all four years. Students on the Bryan-College Station (BCS) track participate in the AIM program, a longitudinal integrated curriculum, and will be on the BCS campus all four years.

Students on the campus tracks in Dallas and Round Rock will complete the 12 months of the pre-clerkship phase of education in BCS, and then transition to the campus tracks in Dallas or Round Rock to complete the pre-clerkship and clerkship phases of training. Students on the Houston campus track will complete 18 months of the pre-clerkship phase in BCS, then transition to Houston to complete the clerkship phase of training.

A&M INTEGRATED MEDICINE PROGRAM

Students completing all four years in Bryan-College Station will participate in the A&M Integrated Medicine (AIM) program.

Through AIM, students participate in a longitudinal integrated clerkship. They work with physicians in core specialties continuously throughout the year while simultaneously following a panel of patients representing a wide spectrum of medical conditions. AIM reflects the development of enduring relationships with patients and the provision of personalized care.

MD CURRICULUM

MD students will participate in a 1.5-years pre-clerkship curriculum, followed by 2.5 years of clinical training. Highlights include:

• Shortened pre-clerkship training allowing for clinical exposure prior to taking USMLE Step 1
• Exposure to clinical electives earlier in the clinical training
• Synthesis case-based education in the 18-months pre-clerkship training phase
• A satisfactory/unsatisfactory/honors grading system
