Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency Lubbock

Residency training is the foundation of your subsequent career in obstetrics and gynecology, so choosing a program that can prepare you to become a competent and compassionate specialist is obviously an important step. Our program at TTUHSC offers an exceptional balance of both obstetrics and gynecology along with appropriate exposure to the various subspecialties.

Residents learn to do vaginal breech deliveries, forceps deliveries, VBAC’s and other aspects of operative obstetrics that are included in only a few training programs nationally. We hope our web site will stimulate you to learn more about who we are and what we do here at Texas Tech. We extend to you an invitation to visit us in person and learn more.
