Graduate Medical Education Expansion Programs

The 83rd Texas Legislature, Regular Session, initiated several new programs to address the shortage of first-year residency positions. The initial effort, which started in FY 2014, appropriated more than $14 million in General Revenue to the THECB to administer grant programs that support efforts to increase the number of first-year residency positions. Funding for the GME Expansion Program has continued through FY 2022-2023 with an appropriation for the biennium of $198,571,310. GME Expansion Program funding has supported the creation of 472 new first-year residency positions between 2014 and 2021.
