The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at Lubbock Neurology Residency Program offers a comprehensive three-year training designed to equip residents with the necessary skills to pursue a career in internal medicine. The program highlights increasing responsibility, access to renowned faculty, and immersion in internal medicine clinics. The faculty support residents in mastering a wide array of procedures, preparing them for fellowship training and beyond.

Application to the program is through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), with a recommended submission deadline by the end of September to secure interview slots. Application requirements include the ERAS Common Application Form, Curriculum Vitae, Dean's Letter (MSPE), a minimum of three Letters of Recommendation, Personal Statement, Photograph, Medical School Transcripts, and USMLE and/or COMLEX Transcripts.

For international applicants, the program only accepts J-1 Visas, requires graduation within the last 7 years, prefers US clinical experience, and mandates ECFMG certification at the time of the interview. The program does not support H-1 Visas.

All applicants must be graduates of an accredited medical school within the past 5 years, with any gaps in training or education requiring an explanation. Additionally, applicants should be prepared to assume all training responsibilities by July 1 following acceptance. Due to a high volume of applications, the program may not provide status updates to individual inquiries on application status.
