UNT HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER

The UNT Health Science Center is one of the nation's distinguished graduate academic centers, dedicated to education, research, patient care and service to our community. 

We are Fort Worth’s medical school and much more.  Opened in 1970 as the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM), the campus has grown to also comprise the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, School of Public Health, Physician Assistant Studies Department, and School of Health Professions.  TCOM faculty provide care to our community through UNT Health, one of the largest multi-specialty group practices in Tarrant County.

Located on 33 acres in the heart of Fort Worth's Cultural District, our schools offer Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Doctor of Biomedical Sciences, Doctor of Public Health, Master of Physician Assistant Studies, Master of Biomedical Sciences, Master of Public Health, Master of Health Administration and dual degrees.

We are committed to providing Texas and the nation with the highest qualified health professionals. For 10 consecutive years, U.S. News and World Report has named the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine among the top 50 medical schools in the U.S. for primary care. And perhaps most important, TCOM students top their national osteopathic peers in medical board passing rates and licensing scores.

Our School of Public Health is one of 46 accredited schools of public health in North America, and one of only three in Texas. 

Our Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences ranks among the top schools in National Institutes of Health funding per total basic science faculty. Our research areas of strength include aging and Alzheimer's disease, Primary Care and Prevention, and Investigative Genetics. 

The campus is home to the national Osteopathic Research Center and the Texas Prevention Institute. Our Center for Human Identification is the only academic center-based DNA laboratory qualified to work with the FBI. 

In the community, we co-founded and continue to support the Cowtown Marathon and Hispanic Wellness Fair. We also work with more than 10 school outreach programs to extend the knowledge of health and healing beyond our campus.
