2008 Campus Pride Campaign
Help UNTHSC break new ground by donating to the 2008 Campus Pride Annual Giving Campaign, which supports UNTHSC’s Master Plan to expand our campus, enhance our capabilities and support the community. The 2008 campaign runs Oct. 1-31, and every employee is encouraged to give what he or she can.
Last year, 70 percent of employees contributed to the Campus Pride Campaign. That generosity helped fund important UNTHSC initiatives, including community relief, research in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, student scholarships and the demolition of the Osteopathic Medical Center of Texas.
The new campaign will kick off with events for faculty and staff:
- Sept. 30 at UNT Health offices on May Street and in Everett Hall for the evening shift
- Oct. 3 at Alumni Plaza and the Patient Care Center

TCOM grads do it again: Highest scores in U.S. on board exams
The Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) Class of 2008 scored the best in the nation on the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) Level 2 for the second consecutive year. The class had a 100 percent pass rate on the exam. In June, the TCOM Class of 2009's COMLEX 1 performance was also the top in the nation.
All states require medical students to pass a licensing exam before they receive licenses to practice medicine. The MD equivalent is the United States Medical License Examination (USMLE).
