UNT System College Of Pharmacy

The University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC, UNT Health Science Center, or hsc) is a public academic health science center in Fort Worth, Texas. It is part of the University of North Texas System and was founded in 1970 as the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. UNT Health Science Center consists of five graduate schools with a total enrollment of 2,329 students (2020–21).

UNT Health Science Center serves as home to several NIH-funded research programs and currently leads all Texas medical and health science centers in research growth. The Health Science Center also houses laboratories for TECH Fort Worth, a non-profit biochemistry incubator, as well as the Atrium Gallery, a non-profit public art exhibition space which holds 8-10 arts shows each year.

History

UNT Health Science Center was initially founded in 1970 as the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM). TCOM was the first osteopathic medical school in Texas and remained the only one in the state until 2015, when the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine was established. The college opened as a private, non-profit school for osteopathic medicine and housed on the fifth floor of the Fort Worth Osteopathic Hospital. As enrollment increased, the school's need for additional space became evident. In 1971, TCOM students secured ownership of Taverner Bowling Alley, located next door to the osteopathic hospital, and made appropriate renovations, renaming the structure the "Basic Science Building." This building housed classrooms, basic science laboratories, and administrative offices for the medical school until demolition in 1975.

In 1975, the college became a part of North Texas State University, after the Texas Legislature overwhelmingly passed Senate Bill 216, making TCOM a state medical school. TCOM was the second public university-affiliated osteopathic medical school to be established. With university-appropriated funding, the school broke ground on several of the original buildings which now comprise the 33-acre campus.

In 1990, TCOM opened the DNA Identity Laboratory, with the responsibility of assisting the state of Texas in evaluating paternity cases. In 1993, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences opened, and TCOM was renamed the University of North Texas Health Science Center. In 1997, the UNT School of Health Professions opened a physician assistant program. In 1999, the School of Public Health opened. In 2008, UNTHSC opened the TECH Fort Worth Acceleration Lab. In 2009, the UNTHSC opened a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and PhD in Public Health Studies degree program's.

In 2011, the Texas Legislature authorized the establishment of a college of pharmacy at UNTHSC. As the first pharmacy school in North Texas, the college matriculated its inaugural class of Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) students in 2013. In 2013, UNTHSC began developing an inter-professional education (IPE) program, in participation with Texas Christian University (TCU). In 2014, Texas Woman's University joined the IPE partnership. In 2015, UNTHSC and TCU announced the creation of a joint MD school, which began matriculating students in 2018. TCU maintained accredition as the degree-granting institution, with faculty and staff employed by the university, while under joint operation and governance with UNTHSC on the university's campus. On January 12, 2022, TCU and UNTHSC announced the end of their joint partnership of TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine, with TCU solely responsible for the operation and governance of the renamed TCU School of Medicine.

In 2022, UNT Health Science Center's Physician Assistant, Health Care Management, Public Health, and Physical Therapy programs were ranked #33, #65, #90, and #97, respectively, by '' U.S. News & World Report''. In its 2023 rankings, the publication also ranks Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine the top osteopathic medical school in the country for primary care.

Community and school outreach programs include Fort Worth's annual Hispanic Wellness Fair and the annual Cowtown Marathon. HSC launched Fort Worth's first Mobile Pediatric Clinic in 2013 to deliver health care to children living in underserved parts of the city. In 2020, HSC Fort Worth helped lead the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in North Texas, opening two drive-through testing centers, assisting in contact tracing, educating the public with fact-based health and safety information and working to protect underserved and at-risk communities.

Academics

UNT Health Science Center is governed by the University of North Texas Board of Regents. Through its five degree-granting schools, the health science center offers doctorate-, masters- and bachelors-level programs focusing on healthcare delivery and biomedical science. In order to promote and encourage inter-professional learning, the health science center utilizes an interprofessional education (IPE) model that brings together students from its various colleges and schools. Doctoral degrees offered include Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Doctor of Public Health (DrPH), Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), and Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD).

Master's degrees include Master of Science, Master of Health Administration, and Master of Physician Assistant Studies. In 2021, SBS received preliminary accreditation from Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to offer an online bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences. With the initial cohort slated to begin in fall 2022, this will be the first undergraduate program at UNT Health Science Center.

Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine

Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM), the first degree-granting graduate school at UNT Health Science Center, was founded in 1970. It is a public medical school and the first osteopathic medical school in Texas. As a primary care-oriented school, TCOM trains and graduates a large number of U.S. medical students entering general practice fields (e.g. family medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics), and from 2018 to 2020, fifty-two percent of its graduates matriculated into these fields. At $13,079 for Texas residents, TCOM boasted the lowest annual tuition cost during the 2021–22 school year relative to tuition fees at all other osteopathic medical schools in the United States. Annual tuition was also the cheapest for in-state medical students in comparison to annual fees at the 15 other allopathic or osteopathic medical schools in Texas.

In September 2018, TCOM was granted a 10-year Accreditation with Exceptional Outcome, the highest level of accreditation given by the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA). Four other Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine have achieved the same accreditation level in the time since.

Medical curriculum

TCOM's medical curriculum consists of two years of pre-clinical studies and two years of clinical rotations. The first year consists of introductory basic science (e.g. anatomy, biochemistry, genetics, and immunology) integrated with physiologic processes structured by body system (cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, musculoskeletal, renal, neurologic, and endocrine). During this time, students also learn physical examination, doctor-patient interactions, and the principles of osteopathic, palpatory diagnosis and manipulative therapy. After learning the physiologic foundations during the first year, the second-year curriculum shifts focus to disease processes and pathology, which are also organized by body system. TCOM's systems-based, two-pass preclinical curriculum, piloted by Bruce Dubin, DO, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, has remained the same since conception in 2010 and is now widely replicated at sister osteopathic medical schools (e.g. RVUCOM, KCUMB-COM, etc.).

After the first two years, medical students are assigned a third year base site for third year clinical rotations in family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery, psychiatry, and pediatrics. While most students elect to rotate through TCOM's primary teaching hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, students may instead choose to relocate to Corpus Christi, Longview, Conroe, or Weatherford, where they spend the year clerking at satellite teaching sites.

TCOM medical students achieved the highest exam score average, relative to students from all other U.S. osteopathic medical schools, on their COMLEX-USA ("Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination of the United States") Level 1 Exam in 2019, 2020, and 2022. Level 1, the osteopathic counterpart to NBME's USMLE Step 1, is the first of three exams required for board certification of osteopathic physicians from U.S. medical schools granting the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. Annual tuition fees since 2020 have covered a 6-month subscription to USMLE World ("UWorld") and TrueLearn ("COMBANK") test bank questions.

UNT System College of Pharmacy

Founded in 2011, UNT System College of Pharmacy (HSCCP) is a four-year program that leads to the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD). Emphasis is placed upon training students to enter any area of pharmacy practice or pharmacy residency. During the first and second years of the curriculum, a heavy emphasis is placed on foundational courses in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. During the second and third years, integrated pharmacotherapy is taught with an organ system approach.

In 2022, ''U.S. News & World Report'' ranked UNT System College of Pharmacy #90 amongst the 134 pharmacy schools participating in its annual rankings.

Pharmacy curriculum

Clinical case discussions in the first year focus on health promotion and communication skills, and in the second and third years, these discussions align with the pharmacotherapy blocks. Pharmacy Practice Skills Laboratories in Years 1 and 2 focus on medication preparation, patient interviewing and assessment, and professional communication skills. Students participate in Pharmacy Practice courses in Semesters 1 - 6, in which they study a broad range of areas, including biostatistics, health care delivery systems, pharmacoeconomics, law, ethics, history of pharmacy, communications, and more.

During Years 1 - 3, students engage in Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE's) in which they work with pharmacists or fourth year pharmacy students in community and institutional pharmacies, participate in health promotion projects in the community, take Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support classes, and perform simulations on high fidelity manikins. IPPE's emphasize interprofessional collaboration with other health professions students at HSC. In the fourth year, students engage in Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE's), in which they provide patient assessment and care through medication management, provide drug information to patients, providers, and other health care professionals, engage in disease management and prevention, and engage in medication distribution through filling of prescriptions and medication orders, all under the direction of a licensed pharmacist preceptor.

Multidisciplinary programs

Dual degree programs offered include PharmD/MS, PharmD/PhD, and PharmD/MPH. Students are alternatively able to pursue special curricular emphases, such as Emphasis in Pharmacometrics or Emphasis in Pharmacy Compounding, and/or certifications in Applied Health Outcomes Research, Pharmacometrics, and Drug Discovery & Development.

HSC Health

HSC Health is a division of the university where faculty members provide health care services. HSC Health consists of 84 clinicians practicing at 13 different, Dallas/Fort Worth-based clinics, including the HSC Health Pavilion, located on the medical school's main campus. Clinicians range from a variety of medical and surgical specialties and subspecialties, including audiology, allergy/ immunology, family practice, cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, neurology, obstetrics & gynecology, optometry, osteopathic manipulative treatment, pediatrics, physiatry, psychiatry, speech language pathology, and sports medicine.

Texas Child MH Care Consortium

The Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC) was funded by the 86th State Legislature of Texas (2019) to expand access to care for children and adolescents in Texas. Mental health initiatives such as Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN), Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT), and Community Psychiatry Workforce Expansion (CPWE) are funded by the State of Texas through TCMHCC and offered through 13 health institutions, including UNT Health Science Center and JPS Health Network.

Through TCMHCC, HSC child psychiatrists provide assessment and behavioral telehealth visits to at-risk children and adolescents and telehealth-based consultation and training to pediatricians and primary care providers requiring clinical assistance to identify and treat mental health issues in their patients.

Campus

UNT Health Science Center's campus has grown from a few offices on the fifth floor of the Fort Worth Osteopathic Hospital into a 33.5-acre campus with 20 buildings and two parking garages. Supported by state funds and private donations, the institution purchased land east of the osteopathic hospital along Camp Bowie Boulevard to form a permanent campus in 1972. The first Campus Master Plan, crafted in 1972, created a vision for these sites, which included an academic building immediately east of the osteopathic hospital that was connected to a library, student union, and student housing. After the Health Pavilion (HP) opened in 1997, patient visits burgeoned in the academic health science center. Today, HSC is located on a 33.5-acre campus in the Cultural District of Fort Worth, TX. Within a three-mile radius from campus, there are four major hospitals concentrated into what is known as the Fort Worth Medical Center.

One of the most visible results of the subsequent Campus Master Plan, crafted in 2007, was the demolition of Fort Worth Osteopathic Hospital and its subsequent replacement with the Medical Education & Training Building (MET), the new academic center of campus. The 2007 plan also identified the construction site for the Interdisciplinary Research and Education Building (IREB), which opened in 2018. The 2018 Campus Master Plan, the most recent institutional roadmap, shows potential at full build-out for over 2.3 million gross square feet of space.

The Gibson D. Lewis Health Science Library's collections, which include more than 20,000 journal titles and 67,000 books, provide HSC students and faculty with access to the latest basic science and clinical research.

HSC Regional Simulation Center

In June 2022, HSC unveils its Immersive Regional Simulation Center, which will be located on the first floor of the Gibson D. Lewis Library. As a collaborative training hub for residency program trainees, clinical staff, emergency medical service providers, nursing home staffers, and HSC students, the $6.75 million facility will enable clinical programs within the region to incorporate virtual reality into their health care curriculum.

The HSC Regional Simulation Center will house 14 clinic exam rooms; a large, changeable procedural skills suite; an “activities of daily living” suite resembling the inside of a home; several multipurpose “teams” rooms; and several learning lounges, where students can study. Many of the rooms will be capable of being resized, remodeled, and adapted based on the needs of students and veteran health care workers.

Student life

A total of 2,329 students were in attendance at UNTHSC for the 2020–21 academic year. 62% of students were female; 38 percent were male. About 41% of students are White, 29% Asian, 15% Hispanic, and 8% Black. Because of state law regarding enrollment of Texas residents in public medical schools, each entering class is composed of at least 90% state residents. Before 2022, TCOM was the only Texas public medical school to grant admission to undocumented persons (Non-Resident Aliens), including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ("DACA") recipients. As of Entry Year 2022, in accordance with state policy, only U.S. Citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents are considered for admission.

During 2021–22, UNTHSC has 157 registered student organizations (RSOs), the largest of which are Pediatrics Club, Emergency Medicine Interest Group, and American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians. Other popular or niche student groups include Christian Medical Association, American Society of Clinical Oncology (Oncology Student Interest Group), and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Ally Alliance. In order to receive funding from student service fees, all student organizations are recognized as official organizations and are required to adopt a risk management policy (due to Texas House Bill 2639), which are reviewed and approved by the Office of Student Development.

Research

UNT Health Science Center has a total research expenditure of $79.1 million in fiscal year 2022, of which $53.1 million is federally sourced. Areas of research strength include population health, health disparities, ophthalmology, forensics, and healthy aging.

The Center for Human Identification's accredited forensic laboratory provides genetic and anthropological examinations for criminal casework and missing persons identification, local CODIS operations, and development. At North Texas Eye Research Institute (NTERI), which opened in 1992, scientists conduct investigate novel therapies for ophthalmologic disorders affecting patients in general as well as those from minority patient populations. At the Center for Health Disparities, scientists conduct prevention and outcomes research in areas such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, stroke, and HIV.

In 2018, HSC founded the Institute for Translational Research with the goal of translating basic science into treatments and new procedures for Alzheimer's and other diseases. The institute received a $45 million grant in 2020 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to examine the biological differences that cause Alzheimer's disease to disproportionately afflict Mexican Americans. The institute also received a $50 million award in 2020 from NIH to lead the coordinating center for the Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Consortium to Advance Health Equity and Researcher Diversity (AIM-AHEAD) program. The goal of AIM-AHEAD is building and advancing AI/ML approaches using EHR and other types of data (e.g., genomics, imaging, social determinants of health) to redress health disparities and advance health equity. Taken together, these are the largest research grants ever awarded in the same year to UNT Health Science Center.
