Relating to coordination between teaching hospitals and medical schools regarding student field-based experience placements and to preference in those placements.

SB 2150 requires Texas medical schools to establish written agreements with teaching hospitals for student clinical rotations and clerkships. It prohibits hospitals from charging non-residents more than Texas residents for these placements and sets a priority order for student placements: first local community residents, then Texas residents, and finally out-of-state students. The bill directly affects medical students seeking clinical training, teaching hospitals, and medical schools across Texas. These requirements apply to placements starting in the 2026-2027 academic year, with the law taking effect September 1, 2025.
