State moves to build new medical colleges to ease doctor shortage
Testimony before a House committee say Texas three top medical schools graduate about 300 doctors yearly while only one in six or seven admitted. Texas loses over 400 doctors annually due to retirement or relocation, worsening rural shortages. Dallas and San Antonio offer land, buildings, and funds for new branches of the University of Texas with large city hospitals to supply clinical material. The plan would add about 150 graduates annually, while Galveston and Houston programs would not grow soon. Political notes discuss a contested law about office-holding and run-for-office restrictions, with bills raising constitutional questions and mixed support in the House and Senate.
