Under the partnership with PHSU, Texila American University’s students will be taught using the flipped classroom model, in which short video lectures are viewed at home prior to class sessions, while in-class time is devoted to exercises, projects, or discussions that makes the class more engaging and interactive. Texila’s students will be following the same exclusive medical education curriculum that PHSU provides to its students.

Founded in 1977, PHSU has graduated more than 1,000 health and medical professionals. Along with its MD program, PHSU offers a number of other medical education programs, including PhD degrees in Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Psychology; a PsyD in Clinical Psychology; a Master in Public Health (MPH); a Master of Science in Medical Sciences (MSMS); and a DrPH in Epidemiology.
