Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) In addition to submitting a Planning Notification under subchapter C, §2.41 of this chapter (relating to Planning Notification: Notice of Intent to Plan), an institution of higher education seeking approval to offer a doctor of medicine (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) professional degree must also submit a graduate medical education plan, in accordance with Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122. Submission of this plan is a prerequisite to Board consideration of the proposed degree program.

(b) Board Staff may acknowledge the graduate medical education plan if the institution's plan meets all the requirements of Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122. Board Staff may request additional information as necessary to determine if the requirements of Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122 are met.

(c) An institution that experiences substantial growth in an individual enrollment class size after Board Staff approves the graduate medical education plan must submit an updated plan that meets the requirements of Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122(d-1) not later than one academic term after experiencing substantial growth.

(1) For the purpose of this section, "substantial growth" is defined as an increase in enrollment that would require additional first-year residency positions to achieve a ratio for the number of first-year graduate medical education positions, relative to the number of medical school graduates in the state, of at least 1.1 to 1.

(2) The Assistant Commissioner shall approve the updated graduate medical education plan if the institution's plan meets all the requirements of Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122. Board Staff may request additional information as necessary to determine if the requirements of Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122 are met.
