Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at Lubbock Program
About This Program
We do a lot of operative vaginal deliveries with forceps. Several faculty are experienced with forceps and use them daily. We also do a lot of vaginal twin deliveries, even if the second twin is breech. Third and fourth year residents are primary surgeons for urogynecologic and oncologic surgeries. We have no fellows to compete with, yet we have faculty specialists in 5 different subspecialties.
