Research Pediatric residents are not required to do research at Texas Tech. However, some clinical research opportunities are available and residents are encouraged to pursue areas of interest. Many have been able to publish articles in referenced journals by the time they finished their residency. An important adjunct to one's own education, is to assist others in learning. Pediatric residents at Texas Tech play an important role in the education and training of 3rd and 4th year medical students.
