Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine Introduction
In 1970 the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine was established. The first class of students graduated in 1974. The next year, the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine became a state-funded medical school, affiliated with the University of North Texas.

However, some graduates enter specialties outside of primary care.

Third-year medical students are required to complete the following core clinical rotations: clinical skills, emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, interal medicine subspecialty, manipulative medicine, mental health, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, primary care partnership, and surgery.
