Texas Tech University HSC El Paso/Hospitals of Providence Transmountain Campus Program
About This Program
Our program is located in the borderplex between the U.S. and Mexico and therefore serves a broad, diverse patient population which provides a more robust and varied range of pathophysiology. Our program is also a newer program which is still in a period of growth and maturation so we are particularly interested in resident feedback to help us continue to meet the needs and expectations of our residents.
