Relating to requiring training in the importance of mental and physical health as a requisite for certain medical degrees.
HB 3761 requires Texas medical schools to include training on the importance of mental and physical health for students, residents, and physicians in their required curricula for medical degrees. This applies to all medical schools defined under Texas law, including institutions awarding medical degrees, but excludes students who began their programs before the fall 2026 semester. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and expires January 1, 2032. It directly affects future physicians by mandating this health-focused training as part of their medical education. The bill does not alter medical licensing standards but integrates wellness education into existing degree requirements.
