Notes
Founded 2010 (CAAHEP continuing accreditation 2010-07-21); separate campus designation in the single CWRU CASAA application. Located in the Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center area; rotations include Texas Children's, Texas Heart Institute, Baylor Scott & White. Entering cohort size dropped sharply after the Austin campus opened (34 to 14-19), so the seats figure is volatile; 2025 first-attempt pass rate (11/17) was well below the program's historical average. Confidence medium on seats/current-year metrics only; shared program facts are high-confidence.
