Welcome to Admissions
The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ) 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?
A real-world medical education awaits aspiring physicians at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. Changes in the health care system have created a demand for new types of physicians. Managed health care and other reforms have created a need for physicians with new skills. Our medical school curriculum addresses these needs.
Prerequisite 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 starting in the first year through formal class work and mentoring by practicing physicians.
The M.D. Program
As a Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ medical student, you can pursue any discipline or specialty. Our four-year MD program devotes three years to a dynamic, foundational blend of basic science, research and interdisciplinary clinical practice, followed by a final year of clinical specialization. It’s a curriculum that’s both deep and wide.
Family Medicine Accelerated Track (FMAT)
As part of our deep commitment to advancing primary care, we pioneered the nation’s
first accelerated Family Medicine program, which remains one of our signature offerings.
Students pursuing a career in Family Medicine can apply for this three-year program
during their first year of medical school.
