Bill proposes to transfer UHV-Victoria to Texas A&M system

I thought we chose as a strategy to have the Medical School closer to the campus to support the community. Also, the Fertita College of Medicine is a member of the Texas Medical Center.

In reality, it seems this was established years ago and very likely was always going to evolve to be a full med school, and not just the medical engineering. It looks to me like their focus and mission would be different from UH’s FCM.

I do wonder how that will affect residency slots which are crucial to any med school - that’s the part where the two schools may have overlapping needs.

At least that’s what I gather from my surface level readings of this. If someone has more detailed understanding, I look forward to hearing it.
