MD School

2012-12-21T09:48:59-06:00

Fort Worth is a proud and unique city with a promising future. We strive to ensure a high quality of life for families living here. Meeting the health care needs of our burgeoning population will require a strong, community-based, collaborative approach to medical education, clinical care, and research. In our vision for the future, Fort Worth citizens will have increased access to the highest quality physicians of all types, and hospitals will work closely with their academic medical partner to train future doctors who stay and practice in Fort Worth. With the same collaborative spirit that created the DFW Airport and the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base, the UNT Health Science Center proposes adding a first-class MD-granting medical school alongside its existing first-class Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) to make that vision for Fort Worth a reality. ...

Rick Hill, DO ('78), will be sending future generations of Texas family physicians to medical school. And he's getting them there with some really fast cars.

The cars are part of a $2.1 million estate gift to the Health Science Center, its largest individual philanthropic gift to date. But the vehicles represent more than pistons and gasoline - they include a bit of Hill himself....

Gil Scarnati, D.O.

2012-12-21T08:33:17-06:00

This article highlights the wonderful legacy that Dr. Scarnati provided the Health Science Center before his passing in February 2011.

On osteopathic medicine and the practice he had to give up:      “Osteopathic medicine is an approach and philosophy of medicine which involves both the art and science of medicine. Yet further, it emphasizes treating the patient as a whole, entire human being, rather than a case, disorder or disease. It emphasizes the importance of the interaction and relationship of all aspects of the person as patient, body, mind and spirit.
      “It is an endeavor in wholeness, of completeness, and one that places just as great an emphasis upon medical expertise as it does upon understanding, empathy and the humane.
      “I loved teaching my patients and answering their questions. Patients came in sick and anxious, and often I was able to allay their fears and anxieties, and to provide comfort, simply by listening and truly communicating with them. Although many physicians believe this humanistic way of medical practice has become impracticable and unrealistic, it is amazing how significant and productive a 15-minute patient visit can be.
     “In retrospect, I think that which amazed me the most was the impact one can have on someone else’s life.”

~Gil Scarnati, DO

Until the day he broke his neck on an Australian beach, Gil Scarnati said practicing osteopathic medicine was a fundamental part of his identity and a source of gratification....
