Relating to medical education coursework in cultural competence and implicit bias.

HB 2475 requires Texas medical schools to offer approved coursework in cultural competence and implicit bias as a condition for awarding M.D. or D.O. degrees. Medical students must complete this training to graduate, with coursework designed to address health decisions related to race, ethnicity, gender, language, disability, and socioeconomic status. The Texas Medical Board will approve the required curriculum, developed with input from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and medical education organizations. The bill mandates that schools adopt these requirements by December 2025, applying only to students enrolling after the rules take effect.
