Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy Residency Program

The Graduate Pharmacy Education (Residency) Program at TTUHSC School of Pharmacy was established in 1997 and promotes excellence in patient care by providing education, development and advanced training to practitioners, educators and scholars. Residents support the School of Pharmacy mission by expanding faculty practice and scholarship activities; as assistant instructors, residents are also actively integrated into the education of Pharm.D. students, serving as clerkship preceptors, small-group facilitators and guest lecturers. The Residency Program offers diverse training opportunities through 15 unique pharmacy practice and specialty resident programs located in Abilene, Amarillo, Dallas-Fort Worth and Lubbock. Presently, 33 residents are enrolled in this program. Since its formation, more than 320 residents have successfully completed residency training. Residents participate in a variety of learning opportunities as part of their program, such as a longitudinal Clinician-Educator Teaching Certificate Program where faculty members present monthly topics to residents related to teaching and where residents design their own course with syllabus and create their own professional teaching portfolio with a developed teaching philosophy. With the promotion of Dr. Steven Pass to regional dean of the Dallas campus of TTUHSC, Dr. Winter J. Smith has taken over the role of Vice Chair for Residency Programs. Dr. Smith comes to TTUHSC from the University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy, where she served as Director of Residency Programs. On behalf of the residents, we would like to welcome Dr. Smith to TTUHSC and we look forward to working with you.
