Gren quotation markThree Fort Worth physicians had a vision. They imagined building an osteopathic medical school from scratch to help deliver high-quality health care in Fort Worth. In October 1970, the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine opened its doors.

Five decades later, that medical school is the UNT Health Science Center, still committed to help provide high-quality health care in Fort Worth and beyond.

Join us throughout 2020 as we celebrate the people, events and innovations that made UNTHSC all it is today — and look ahead to the next 50 years."

-Dr. Michael R. Williams, UNTHSC President (TCOM '81)
