Three osteopathic physicians, Dr. D.D. Beyer, Dr. George Luibel and Dr. Carl Everett, procured a charter from the State of Texas for the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1966.
An osteopathic medicine school in Fort Worth now existed on paper for the first time. TCOM accepted its first students in 1970. In 1975, TCOM came under the umbrella of North Texas State University, which later evolved into the UNT System that now includes campuses in Denton and Dallas.
With the establishment of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in 1993, TCOM expanded into a graduate university with multiple colleges and changed its name to the University of North Texas Health Science Center.
It’s all about the people. For the 50th anniversary, team members nominated people whose contributions make them HSC Heroes. Each week, a new Hero will be revealed.
