About the School
A real-world medical education awaits aspiring physicians at Texas Tech School of Medicine. Changes in the health care system have created a demand for new types of physicians. Managed care and other reforms have created a need for physicians with new skills. Our medical school curriculum addresses these needs. In addition, Texas Tech has initiated a unique program - the combined MD/MBA degree plan where students can receive both degrees in four years.
Curriculum
Specific course requirements have been kept to a minimum to allow and encourage the student to have a broad and well-rounded education. The four-year curriculum provides a broad introduction to medical knowledge while developing the student's analytical and problem-solving skills. Students will have an opportunity for clinical experiences early in the first year through formal class work and mentoring by practicing physicians.
Facilities
The four campuses operate a total of 34 clinical departmental units and numerous clinical services and education programs which were previously unavailable in the West Texas region. A partial list of specialty services includes: Care for Women and Infants, including perinatal care and neonatal intensive care (four campuses), Pediatric subspecialty services and intensive care (four campuses), trauma centers and emergency medicine (two campuses), neurology and neuroscience centers (two campuses), a center for pain treatment and research, a regional burn center, a center for Alzheimer's disease, a cancer center and a program for bone marrow transplantation, a border community breast care program, and a rural community mobile mammography program. Recognition has been received for research in such areas as cardiovascular disease, alcohol toxicity, reproductive biology, steroidogenesis, and sick building syndrome.
