The University of North Texas 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, the largest multi-specialty group practice 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, and dual degrees. 

We are committed to providing Texas and the nation the most highly qualified health professionals.  For six 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.  For the past 12 consecutive years, the Texas Academy of Family Physicians has awarded TCOM its Medical School Award of Achievement.  And perhaps most importantly, TCOM students top their national osteopathic peers in medical board passing rates and licensing scores.

Our School of Public Health is one of 37 accredited schools of public health in the U.S., 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, women’s health issues, musculoskeletal disease, health disparities, cancer, eye disease and more. 

The campus is home to the national Osteopathic Research Center and the Texas Center for Health Disparities. 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 are proud to serve this fall for the second year as medical partner for the DFW Breast Cancer 3-Day to benefit Komen for the Cure.  We also work with more than 10 school outreach programs to extend the knowledge of health and healing beyond our campus.
