New TCU medical school addresses physician shortage with an innovative curriculum | Opinion
This is important because the federal government stopped funding new residency slots in 1997. Since then, the population of Texas has grown significantly, the physician shortage increased and new medical schools like ours stepped up to meet the needs. But without residency programs to train our new graduates, the state can’t address these shortages. Combating the physician shortage in Texas is a two-pronged solution — more new doctors and more graduate medical education slots.
A small example of communication lies in the first conversation you have with your physician on a visit. Studies show that it takes physicians about 30 seconds to ask the first question once patients start to share the reason for the visit. However, it takes about 90 seconds for patients to feel they got to share what was most important to them.
Each student is required to complete a four-year Scholarly Pursuit and Thesis research project that values the students’ intrinsic curiosity, inspires them to be leaders in driving advances in medicine throughout their career, critical thinking and lifelong learning. We also have a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship that partners each student with a preceptor across eight medical disciplines. This training model is the foundation for our graduates to deliver empathetic and compassionate medicine.
Why are we modifying how we are training the next generation of physicians? In addition to knowing we all want our doctor to be well-versed and contemporary in the science and knowledge of medicine, we also want our doctor to engage with us very personally, listening to our concerns with compassion and empathy.
