Graduate Medical Education (GME), commonly referred to as residency, is the supervised training a medical school graduate receives to gain expertise in a specific field of medicine prior to becoming a licensed physician. GME programs are significant providers of indigent care, training residents in hospitals mostly, but also in clinics and other outpatient facilities. The state appropriates funds for GME through allocations to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) and to health-related institutions through a formula that incorporates federal contributions via the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).  2014-15 general revenue appropriations going directly to health-related institutions via the GME formula equaled $66 million and for the THECB were $34 million, for a biennial total of $99 million.
