Instituted in 1971, the TAMU College of Medicine was designed to provide all prelinical education (years I and II) on the main University campus in College State. All 3rd and 4th year medical students then moved from College Station to Temple to complete their clinical education in a unique partnershipe with Scott & White Memorial Hospital and Clinics, the Central Texas Veterans Health Care facility in Temple and Darnell Army Community Hospital in Killeen. In 2006, the A&M Board of Regents, rcognizing the rapid expansion of basic science research and education capaibilities in Temple, elected to create a full 4 year medical school campus in Temple in concert with its Temple partners.
- in 1991, the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved a restructuring of the College of Medicine as a Health Science Center
- This change emphasized a broad-based instruction in the meidcal sciences producing physicians with the knoledge, expertise and vision to meet the challenges facing modern medicine
- In 2000, a new $12 million Texas A&M research facility was completed on the Scott & White campus
- In 2002, an $11 million combined health education conference center and medical science library was dedicated on the Scott & White campus
- In 2003, a new $14 million research facility was completed on the campus of the Central Texas Veterans Health Care Center in Temple
- TAMU's relationship with Scott & White Memorial Hospital and the Central Texas Veterans Health Care Center was expanded dramatically in 2006 by a decision of the Board of Regents of the Texas A&M University System to create a full 4 year medical school campus in Temple, that began in the fall of 2007
