School of Medicine Dean's Ambassadors

A native of west Texas, I chose Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center to give back to my rural community, one that has given me so many opportunities. Serving a diverse rural population that produces much of the agriculture in our state, TTUHSC has the unique role of caring for these underserved populations. The culture of TTUHSC SOM mirrors the bonds made by personal connection with patients, and that was evident from the second I applied. With a personalized medical curriculum, quickly growing breadth of care, and a one of its kind TA program, I knew I would succeed here. TTUHSC SOM gives us all the tools to succeed and sets us up to be the leaders in healthcare for our state. 

I chose TTUHSC School of Medicine because they act on and within their values daily. This is the place I can learn and be challenged, but also be seen and cared for.

I chose the TTUHSC School of Medicine because it reflects the values that have shaped me during my time in West Texas. During my undergraduate years at Texas Tech, I witnessed firsthand the warmth, resilience, and determination that define this community, and I want to continue my journey in a place that embodies those same qualities. TTUHSC’s strong emphasis on primary care resonates with my goal of pursuing internal medicine and serving diverse patients with compassion. The school’s mission to train physicians who address the needs of West Texas aligns perfectly with my own aspirations. TTUHSC offers the ideal environment for me to grow into the physician I aspire to become.

I wanted to attend TTUHSC SOM due to a few major factors: location and priority of student. As I am from this area, I have always felt a special connection to the people and culture here, so I knew I wanted to train here and serve here. I also knew that my mental health would be better here than at any other institution due to the constant consideration this school makes for its students' wellbeing.

I chose TTUHSC School of Medicine because of the environment of collaboration and support I sensed on my interview day. I knew that medical school was going to be challenging, so I wanted to be at a school where everyone truly wants you to succeed. 

I chose TTUHSC School of Medicine for a variety of reasons. There is a great culture at TTUHSC SOM that is predicated on collaboration and a shared interest in success amongst every member of the school of medicine class. Additionally, the resources and faculty here are second to none in providing a comprehensive foundation of knowledge in medicine. I have been part of the health sciences center for the past two years and knew if given the opportunity, I would chose TTUHSC SOM without hesitation.

From my earliest interactions, I noticed how much this school values relationships — among classmates, mentors, and patients. That spirit is something I want to help carry forward.

I chose the Texas Tech School of Medicine because from my first experience at a preview day, I noticed the supportive and encouraging environment fostered here. Entering medical school comes with many stressors, and for me, one of them was wondering what kind of people I will be surrounded by. At Texas Tech, collaboration is a distinct priority, with students constantly lifting each other up, whether that be in the school of medicine itself, or across other programs. I believe that this emphasis on teamwork is essential, because collaboration will be a vital pillar of our future careers. Because of this focus, the TTUHSC School of Medicine prepares its students to be encouraging and collaborative members of any team they join. 

As a student freshly transplanted to Texas, I did not know much about the TTUHSC School of Medicine. My original intention was to contribute to the Texas community and find a place where I would be supported in my research endeavors and TTUHSC happened to have a great intersection of those interests. However, what really drove my desire to choose TTUHSC School of Medicine was the people. During my interview day and in all my communications before and after my interview day, I was always met with an unconditional positive regard and one thing I found especially rare were the temperaments of the students.

I chose TTUHSC SOM because of the incredible community and people who made me feel like family, from my first year of undergrad at TTU to now. Everywhere I turned, there was a friendly face waiting for me and I couldn't think of a better institution to further my education.

I wanted to spend my time while in medical school in a collaborative environment and where familial culture was prevalent. After interviewing here, the DA's and Tech students made me feel as though Texas Tech was my home. 

The virtues of family and brotherhood are present throughout the class, something that I felt was missing in my undergraduate. I feel like my peers, instructors, and deans want me to succeed and reach my potential, which is what I wanted the most in a medical school.

I chose TTUHSC SOM because I was drawn to the strong service-oriented culture and the welcoming environment present here. 

At my interview day, I connected with TTUHSC SOM's values of giving back to the community and fostering a collaborative culture. I knew I could grow both personally and professionally in an environment where people measured excellence not by their individual accomplishments but by how tall they empowered each other to stand. 

I chose TTUHSC School of Medicine because I felt welcomed during my interview and tours through the school. I got the sense that they were interested in creating and nurturing well-rounded physicians. 

I chose TTUHSC-Lubbock School of Medicine because my interview day experience convinced me it was a program that would support me in my endeavors to grow as a physician and individual. This impression becomes more of a reality with each new week of my medical education. 

I really appreciated how TTUHSC School of Medicine is invested in creating an environment where students work collaboratively to push each other forward. The administration also builds a community that nurtures the values that I want as a future physician - excellence, collaboration, and compassion. 

I chose TTUHSC SOM because of the strong sense of community and support the school, faculty, and its student body has. Everyone at this school is here to help and push each other to become better physicians for our future patients. 

Ideally, I wanted my medical school education to be in an institution with excellent academics combined with an environment that has a strong sense of community where collaboration and camaraderie coexist. I chose TTUHSC School of Medicine because it embodies those ideals!

TTUHSC SOM staff members and students create a community environment that fosters healthy learning and genuine relationships. This results in every student being encouraged and challenged to pursue excellence throughout their medical school career, which I highly value.

Through the multiple dual degree programs and variety of organizations, TTUHSC SOM does a great job of making sure everyone has a place. The students and faculty here are so supportive and create a welcoming environment.

I really love the culture and support system this school provides to its students. It is also close to home for me which is a big plus. 

From the day I interviewed here, the faculty and students made me feel like I was already a part of their community, which made me excited to continue my path in pursuing medicine at TTUHSC.
