Texas Tech University HSC El Paso Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated, four-year OB-GYN residency on the U.S.-Mexico border, structured around a mandatory clinical research project for every resident (proposal by PGY-1, IRB approval and data collection by PGY-2, results by PGY-3, manuscript by PGY-4) that culminates in presentation at Resident's Research Day and potential submission to TAOG. Training spans general obstetrics, high-risk OB, gynecologic oncology, urogynecology, REI, and family planning, with a required rotation at William Beaumont Army Medical Center reflecting the program's military-medicine partnership. The curriculum explicitly frames graduates for academic positions, fellowships, or private practice, and the institution's mission centers on serving socially and culturally diverse border populations with unique healthcare needs. The program values residents who can progress into graduated autonomy on labor and delivery while completing a structured scholarly project alongside full clinical responsibilities.
