About the Role

Welcome to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology on the campus of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) at the Permian Basin. With our primary practice site and academic offices in Odessa, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has been an integral part of this institution since the inception of this campus. We have a strong, long-standing relationship with our community hospital partners.

In 2010, our practice expanded to Midland, with an outpatient facility adjacent to Midland Memorial Hospital. This created a tremendous opportunity to expand our health care services within the Permian Basin and expanded our capabilities for high quality medical student education as well. All of our general resident clinics are based on the "continuity of care" model as we strive for personalized, cost-effective, high-quality patient care. We have several specialty care clinics for our patients, including a High-Risk Pregnancy clinic, a Colposcopy clinic and a Urogynecology clinic.

Within our department, we provide expert ultrasound services, bone density testing, and have a modern urodynamic testing laboratory. Each year we provide healthcare services with more than 26,000 outpatient visits; in the region we deliver more than 3,500 babies and perform 700 major gynecologic surgical procedures per year. Our residency program received a 4-year accreditation status with 4 residents per level. Both our Odessa and Midland locations utilize an EMR system that provides access to both inpatient and outpatient medical records.
