Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso is a health sciences university in El Paso, Texas founded on May 20, 2014. Previously, the university had operated as a branch campus of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center since 1969. ==History== TTUHSC El Paso opened in 1969 as the Regional Academic Health Center and became affiliated with R.E. Thomason Hospital in 1973 as part of the TTUHSC. The facility now has approximately to 1,200 faculty and staff members. For its first 35 years, only third- and fourth-year medical students, along with residents, could train in the campus' eight accredited programs. However, in February 2008, the school received full accreditation, allowing it to accept first- and second-year medical students into its postgraduate medical training.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Tech's El Paso medical school receives full accreditation )〕 It was renamed the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine in 2009. Upon approval by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Texas Board of Nursing, the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing officially opened as a free-standing school of nursing in September 2011. A feasibility study conducted in 2012 by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board determined that a proposed dental school, that would have been a college within TTUHSC El Paso, was too costly and at that time not necessary but may be necessitated in the future.〔http://www.elpasotimes.com/ci_21857253/dental-school-ep-costly-unnecessary-study-finds〕 On May 20, 2013 Gov. Rick Perry signed a bill establishing the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso as its own independent school within the Texas Tech University System.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TTU System Establishes Fourth University in El Paso )〕 The signing of Senate Bill 120 gives the El Paso campus its own administration and will take effect in 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
