FORT WORTH – Episode 11 of On Site: Construction of the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University hosted by Founding Dean Stuart D. Flynn, M.D., features Texas Health Resources CEO Barclay Berdan ’76 explaining why collaborating with the medical school to create new Graduate Medical Education (GME) residency slots is vital to North Texas.  

They also talked about the medical school’s Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) curriculum and how its unique design creates distinctive learning opportunities for medical students.  

A Linbeck construction supervisor gives us an in-depth look at the library space on the second floor, which features high-end Top Akustik perforated wood panels for noise reduction. The library, which is slightly more than 1,000 square feet, inside the new medical education building called Arnold Hall has been completed and is a quiet space with scenic views of Fort Worth’s Near Southside neighborhood. 

Construction of the new 100,000- square foot medical education building in Fort Worth’s Medical Innovation District (MID) was completed in June.
