Texas Tech University HSC El Paso/Hospitals of Providence Transmountain Campus Program
About This Program
Our program is situated on the US-Mexico border and serves a large interstate and international community. El Paso is situated at the intersection of Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico, and we treat patients from all of these locations. This lends to a very unique patient population and a wide variety of pathologies. We are one of only a few programs situated in a border community, which creates a very special opportunity for resident experience and education.
