| (a) In addition to submitting a Planning Notification
under subchapter C, §2.41 of this chapter (relating to Planning
Notification: Notice of Intent to Plan), an institution of higher
education seeking approval to offer a doctor of medicine (M.D.) or
doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) professional degree must also
submit a graduate medical education plan, in accordance with Tex.
Educ. Code §61.05122. Submission of this plan is a prerequisite
to Board consideration of the proposed degree program.
(b) Board Staff may acknowledge the graduate medical
education plan if the institution's plan meets all the requirements
of Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122. Board Staff may request additional
information as necessary to determine if the requirements of Tex.
Educ. Code §61.05122 are met.
(c) An institution that experiences substantial growth
in an individual enrollment class size after Board Staff approves
the graduate medical education plan must submit an updated plan that
meets the requirements of Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122(d-1) not
later than one academic term after experiencing substantial growth.
(1) For the purpose of this section, "substantial growth"
is defined as an increase in enrollment that would require additional
first-year residency positions to achieve a ratio for the number of
first-year graduate medical education positions, relative to the number
of medical school graduates in the state, of at least 1.1 to 1.
(2) The Assistant Commissioner shall approve the updated
graduate medical education plan if the institution's plan meets all
the requirements of Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122. Board Staff may
request additional information as necessary to determine if the requirements
of Tex. Educ. Code §61.05122 are met.
