Regional Leadership

The Texas Tech University Health Sciences center is part of the Texas Tech University System and operates medical and health care education and patient care at multiple campuses across the state of Texas.

The physical campuses of TTUHSC are organized into five regions – Abilene, Amarillo, Dallas/Fort Worth, Lubbock, and Midland and Odessa.

This regional concept allows the schools to establish and operate student education programs, physician residency training programs, continuing education programs, and outreach programs that have proved to be a vital factor in the placement of graduates in practice sites across in West Texas, and to support the practice of medicine, nursing, and health professions in this vast area.
