Graduate Medical Education Expansion Programs

The GME Expansion Program was established by the 83^rd Texas Legislature, Regular Session, to provide funding to enable new or existing nationally accredited Graduate Medical Education residency programs in Texas to increase the number of first-year residency positions. The program helps support the Texas goal of having 10% more first-year entering residency positions than Texas medical school graduates. The GME Expansion Program has supported the creation of 508 new first-year year residency positions between 2014 and 2023.
