The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University was awarded full accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).
The LCME accredits medical education programs leading to the M.D. degree in the United States and Canada. The announcement from the LCME grants full accreditation for the full five years possible to the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU.
In a year of firsts for this new school, this significant milestone caps a seven-year review process that affirms the highest standards in the training of future M.D. physicians. It also establishes the medical school as a vital partner in elevating the national profile of Fort Worth as a hub for innovation in medicine, health care and education.
“This achievement represents the culmination of a vision that started in 2015 with a bold idea and a tremendous amount of passion. Today, in our 150th year, we are thrilled to celebrate full accreditation of the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine,” said TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr. “We are grateful for the support of the TCU Board of Trustees and commend the efforts of the staff and faculty, as well as the courage and fortitude of the students who took a chance on a new school. Now these new physicians will go out and exemplify what it means to be an Empathetic Scholar ®.”
