About the program
TTUHSC Amarillo Family Medicine is an unopposed residency based at Baptist St. Anthony's Hospital. Residents follow a 13-block year built from two-week mini-blocks that recur through the year. Training includes continuity clinic, day and night-float hospital services, pediatric wards and nursery, surgery, L&D, geriatrics, psychiatry, ICU, practice management, gynecology/women's health, sports medicine/orthopedics and a rural ER rotation in Hereford, TX. Residents follow continuity OB patients through prenatal care, delivery at Northwest Texas Hospital and postpartum care. One afternoon weekly is protected for didactics and a weekly resident-staffed procedure clinic runs one morning.

Program highlights
- Stress interest in an unopposed program: the page says residents see a varied patient base without competition from other residencies.
- Ask how the two-week mini-block system works day to day and how it lets you revisit concepts at different training stages.
- Emphasise obstetrics interest: continuity OB patients are followed from prenatal care through delivery at Northwest Texas Hospital, with an extra community partnership for low-income prenatal patients for those most interested in maternity care.
- Mention procedural interest and ask about the weekly resident-staffed procedure clinic for common outpatient family medicine procedures.
- Rural exposure: ask about the Rural ER rotation in Hereford, TX and the PGY-3 sports medicine/orthopedics block.
- Ask about PGY-2/PGY-3 moonlighting in the Amarillo area, which the program states is available with Program Director approval.
