Welcome to Admissions

The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) School of Medicine offers students an excellent medical education experience. The medical education program emphasizes the principles of primary care and provides sound inter-disciplinary and inter-professional training that integrates basic sciences knowledge, clinical skill, competencies for meeting the needs of underserved patients and a humanistic approach focusing on high standards and comprehensive evaluation.

The School of Medicine at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is proud to educate future physicians on holistic patient care that ultimately impacts the health of our regional, national, and global communities – including patients who are underserved. As we pursue excellence in provider education, research, and patient care, we recognize the necessity of equipping our learners to deliver outstanding health care for everyone they come into contact with.


Why Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center?
