Dell Med Awarded State Grant to Expand Graduate Medical Education Programs

Aug. 7, 2025

Part of the state’s Graduate Medical Education Planning and Partnership initiative, the grant aims to increase the number of first-year residency positions across Texas — ensuring more medical graduates can remain in-state for advanced training while helping meet growing demand for care.

“We’re honored to receive this support from the Coordinating Board,” said Jonathan MacClements, M.D., senior associate dean and designated institutional official of graduate medical education at Dell Med. “This grant strengthens our ability to grow high-demand residency programs that serve the health needs of Central Texans while preparing future physician leaders.”

The grant is one of 11 awarded statewide in 2025 through the program, which encourages new partnerships and planning efforts among health care institutions. It reflects Dell Med’s ongoing investment in expanding high-quality, person-centered residency training in Austin and will help strengthen the infrastructure for a stronger physician pipeline in Austin and beyond. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, 67% of physicians who complete residency training in Texas remain in the state to practice — higher than the national average of 59% — underscoring the long-term impact of growing graduate medical education locally.
