Obstetrics and Gynecology
Residency Program Overview
The four-year Ob/Gyn program was approved in 1988 and is accredited for two residents per year. The Texas Tech HSC - Permian Basin has an educational facility that houses classrooms, administrative offices, faculty offices, conference rooms, auditorium and library. The new three-story clinic building houses the ambulatory clinics of the four clinical medicine specialties: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics.
The TTUHSC buildings are adjacent to Medical Center Hospital, which serves Ector County Hospital District and is supported by a tax base. Medical Center Hospital is mandated to care for the indigent populations that are a large number of high-risk and seriously ill patients. This affords the residents the opportunity to increase their clinical exposure to a myriad of diseases and experiences.
