Welcome to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, where a dedication to education, patient care and research has made an impact on the health of West Texas and beyond for almost 40 years.

To date we have trained more than 10,000 health care professionals, and we meet the health care needs of more than 2.5 million people who live throughout a vast 108-county area stretching from the Texas Panhandle south to the Permian Basin and west into Eastern New Mexico.

The Research Department is the primary resource and catalyst for advancing research at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Our mission is to promote and support research by providing high quality service to investigators, foster new research initiatives, promote the prevention of disease and the treatment of illness, motivate and educate future leaders in health sciences, and serve as an advocate for the value of research in an educational setting.

At the Office of Professional Affairs, we know that Professional Development is intricately tied to the performance of a student's profession as part of his or her education. For this reason, we seek to help students in any way we can with finding fellowships and residencies while at TTUHSC School of Pharmacy.
