Tony Salazar Undergrad: University of New Mexico Med School: University of New Mexico Hometown: Raton, NM Why Albuquerque: Born and raised in Raton, NM (about 225 miles NE of ABQ).  My wife is an elementary school teacher here and we have strong ties and personal commitments to serve NM. .....Anything else interesting: Married to Shelly with two children, Teanna and Sean.  We live on the West Side with our beagle (Georgie), our black lab (Daisy) and our parakeet (Zoe)! I enjoy doing a lot of things outside of medicine.  I enjoy coaching the kid’s soccer teams, going to the Rio Grande Zoo, the Albuquerque Aquarium, and Cliff’s Amusement Park.    I enjoy getting back to Raton as often as possible to see family and friends.  Shelly is a 5th grade teacher in the Albuquerque Public Schools system. I graduated from the UNM School of Medicine and decided to continue my training here because this is an outstanding program, and staying here was a great opportunity for me and my family! Life Before Med School: I worked as an ER tech at Miners Colfax Medical Center in Raton (as a pre-med student) and completed my EMT-B and EMT-I before medical school. Hobbies: Attend COUNTRY concerts, listening to country music, youth league coaching, and spending time with family and friends. Worst/Best job: Best-Serving ice cream and burgers at Dairy Queen during high school (can’t even count how much ice cream I consumed during that two year period).  Worst-One day as a telemarketer (actually was about a few hours before I threw in the white towel…). Favorite Band: Toby Keith, of course! Favorite Movie: 90% of all movies I’ve watched in the past 5 years have been rated G – see above!   Click here for More Pictures ...or...
