The Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine in Round Rock will begin accepting more students in July 2016.

The campus will accept 55 additional second-year medical students and expand the campus's medical education program from two years to three years in length, according to a news release. The additional students will bump the medical campus's enrollment up to 165 students.

The change will allow students to gain clinical skills earlier in the education process, the news release stated.

"We are constantly assessing our students' education experiences and seeking means of improving upon curriculum to meet the knowledge and skills needs of tomorrow's health care providers and most importantly, the health care needs of Texas," said Dr. Paul Ogden, interim dean of the Texas A&M College of Medicine, in a statement.
