Texas HB5294 regulates medical school admissions, coursework, academic standards, and employment decisions.

Texas HB5294 amends the Education Code to establish specific requirements for medical schools. It mandates that medical schools consider applicants' performance on standardized tests for admissions, but this performance cannot be the sole criterion. Coursework must be graded on a letter scale from A to F and cannot be pass/fail. Medical schools cannot revise academic standards without submitting proposed standards and reasons to the legislature and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
