In 1977, members of the College of Medicine's charter class of 32 students began their medical training on Texas A&M University's campus. 1981 marked the year the first medical degrees were awarded, and since then, more than 2,258 physicians have graduated from Texas A&M College of Medicine.{{cn|date=February 2019}} In 1999, the College of Medicine joined the newly created Texas A&M Health Science Center.

The college's mission is to improve the health and well-being of the people of Texas through excellence in education, research and health care delivery. The college's vision is to develop the innovators and leaders in medicine and biomedical research who will transform American medicine in the 21st century. With campuses in College Station, Houston, Dallas, Temple, and Round Rock, the college serves as a main academic and medical institution for the population within the area. Currently, all students spend their first year on the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine Bryan/College Station campus, and the remaining years students have the option to finish their education among the different campuses in Houston, Dallas, Temple, Round Rock, or remain in Bryan/College Station.[1]

More than 1,600 basic scientists and clinicians instruct students during the course of their medical education. The college offers M.D., M.D./Ph.D., M.D./M.P.H, M.D./M.B.A., and several other M.D./M.S. dual degree programs.[2]

Training Facilities and Curriculum

Beginning in 2015, the class graduating in 2019 in the College of Medicine will follow a 1.5 year pre-clinical curriculum, followed by 2.5 years of clinical training. In addition to a shortened pre-clinical curriculum allowing for clinical exposure prior to taking USMLE Step 1, students will also complete a scholarly research project as well as a concentration area over the rest of the medical school program. Concentration areas include: public health, global health, rural and community health, leadership and health advocacy, business, law, research, healthcare policy, and biotechnology, among others. Students are required to pass the USMLE Step 1 exam prior to starting the third year and USMLE Step 2 CS and CK prior to starting the fourth year. MD-PhD candidates have the option of completing the first two years of the MD program followed by three to fours years of graduate school then clerkship or completing medical school before commencing in the PhD portion of their program.[3]
