Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center
Home to 761 full-time faculty and 3,691 full-time staff supported by a budget of over $860 million,
TTUHSC is a comprehensive, health-related university comprised of six schools across six campuses that has served West Texas and beyond for more than 50 years. Starting as the School of Medicine in 1969, TTUHSC is now one of the largest universities in the United States for depth and breadth of health care programs. Boasting more than 35,000 alumni and almost 5,000 faculty and staff, the institution graduates more health care professionals annually than any other institution in the state of Texas. TTUHSC has as its major objectives the provision of quality education and development of academic, research, patient care, and community service programs to meet the health care needs of West Texas, which in total is comprised of 108 counties and represents 50% of Texas' land mass and 9.4% of its total population. This 131,000 square mile service area and population of 3.1 million has been and remains highly underserved by health professionals and accessible health care facilities, despite the substantial and meaningful contribution made by TTUHSC.
