TTUHSC El Paso’s primary goals include the provision of quality education and the development of academic research, patient care, and community service programs to meet the health care needs of El Paso, West Texas, and the U.S.-Mexico border region.
These regions are historically highly underserved by health professionals due to a number of factors. High poverty rates, language barriers, and even geographic isolation have all contributed. Some live in what are known as colonias - small unincorporated townships that often lack even basic public utilities such as water and sewage.
Moreover, demographic shifts in West Texas and across other U.S.-Mexico border populations, along with the socioeconomic and epidemiological characteristics of the region’s sub-populations, have created major demands for specific health care services. TTUHSC El Paso aims to address these demands by providing excellence in undergraduate, graduate, and health-related professional education. At the same time we aim to ensure our graduates become the culturally competent and compassionate health care professionals needed in our unique border region.
