Overview
The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University was established in partnership with UNT Health Science Center's original MD program lineage but launched as its own independent allopathic medical school, welcoming its inaugural class in 2019. Named for philanthropist Anne Burnett Marion, the school was created to address physician shortages in Texas and to train 'empathetic scholars' who combine rigorous science with humanistic patient care. It is one of the newest MD-granting medical schools in the United States and has quickly built a reputation for an innovative, integrated curriculum emphasizing communication, ethics, and community health alongside traditional biomedical sciences.
