Thank you for visiting the UNM Emergency Medicine Student Web site!  We have a dynamic, friendly and diverse group of faculty and residents and a busy ED with a large volume of high acuity patients creating one of the best EM training programs in the country.  We value quality patient care, accessibility for all, interactive teaching and continued learning through scholarly activity.  The student elective is a great way to learn more about our program and our people, and the combination of didactics, case discussion, self-guided learning and clinical experience will give you a solid foundation of skills in emergency medicine.  Please link to the application page for more information on how to apply for a rotation or email me at DRimple@salud.unm.edu if you have questions or comments.
