Texas Tech University HSC El Paso Program
About This Program
Our program has a long history of training quality pediatricians for the border and beyond and we are excited to share our desert gem in the Southwest with you. Being on the border has its own amazing experiences and we are unique in that our program has an emphasis on border health. We care for undeserved children from both sides of the border, including patients from Mexico presenting with advanced and/or rare diseases.
