Resident Life
In our program, residents not only work together, they also socialize and support each other through the ups and downs of our personal and professional lives. Group activities, such as our annual retreats and volunteer outings, help us learn more about one another. We also make time to play together as well! From department-wide social events such as the annual holiday party to impromptu BBQs, the faculty and residents at Texas Tech are like family.
