Sam Houston Regional Education Consortium

About SHREC

The Sam Houston Regional Education Consortium (SHREC) is an ACGME-accredited institutional sponsor housed within the SHSU College of Osteopathic Medicine (SHSU-COM). Established in 2023, SHREC plays a vital role in expanding graduate medical education opportunities throughout East Texas.

Our mission is to support the development, accreditation, and operation of high-quality residency and fellowship programs that serve rural and medically underserved communities. SHREC programs create pathways for physicians to continue their training in Texas, with a strong foundation in primary care and a commitment to service.

Each program emphasizes:

• Hands-on, high-quality clinical experiences
• Comprehensive didactic education
• Professional development and leadership training
• Community engagement and culturally responsive care

We aim to develop compassionate, practice-ready physicians who are prepared to meet the healthcare needs of diverse communities and drive in a changing healthcare environment.
