DARRYL MACIAS, M.D. Dept. of Emergency Medicine International / Wilderness Medicine	ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MEDICAL DIRECTOR,  WILDERNESS MEDICINE & INTERNATIONAL HEALTH MEDICAL DIRECTOR, Rio Rancho and Albuquerque Mountain Rescue Council SAR Emergency Ultrasound Coordinator Med School: University of California Los Angeles, CA Residency: Department of Emergency Medicine, UNM Interests: Wilderness and international medicine, EMS, trauma and injury prevention. ¿Che, como andas? I graduated from UCLA Medical School back in 1991 to start my emergency residency training at UNM. The very high reputation of the department, the pathology in the ED, patient demographics, the down to earth personalities of those in the program, and the geographic desirability made me choose UNM above the rest, and we have been happy with staying here since.  I like teaching, and have been successfully enjoying it. Innovation and improvisation is one thing that I use in many of my teaching methods. Our Wilderness Medicine elective has enjoyed unprecedented national success, and it usually takes my whole March to teach the class. In fact, we will be taking our course to Hawaii and Roatan (Honduras) for our dive medicine conferences, and Ecuador for our high altitude wilderness medicine conferences. I have also had the opportunity to work in hospitals and clinics  throughout Latin America, Asia, and Africa. If you end up here, I might send you to Guanajuato, Mexico or Buenos Aires, Argentina (for our Pan American Collaborative Emergency Medicine Development Program, dedicated to propagating the specialty in Latin America), Kathmandu, Nepal (to help with an international elective) or Phnom Penh, Cambodia to assess the education of future Cambodian physicians (who will replace those eliminated during the Khmer Rouge regime). If you prefer, I could send you out in the desert with a compass, a flint and steel, and have you find your way back using the navigation skills I teach in some classes. Or you can sit with me and talk of ultrasound while drinking a strong brew of Turkish coffee. My wife and I hang out in our free time teaching our young daughters how to ski, mountain run, climb big walls, strange language speaking, and other various things. Our dog Fishbreath often goes with us. Chances are you will see me a lot in ER shifts and activities and then...poof! I am off to another country propagating our residency to interested listeners for long spells of time. I can help you overcome boredom! Back         Return to Top        EM Home

Hello, I am originally from Seattle, WA and have been in ABQ for almost 10 years. I love the mountains and open spaces of New Mexico, and that fact that our department is relaxed, friendly and produces great academic research, great clinical care and high quality residency graduates.  My research interests are listed above but my main focus is making this one of the best EM residencies in the country. Please email me or see our new web page if you have any questions. Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and three kids, trail running (check out the La Luz run…www.aroadrun.org ), road racing, mountain biking, hiking, travel and music.     Back         Return to Top        EM Home
A. ROBB McLEAN, M.D. Dept. of Emergency Medicine	ASSistant PROFESSOR ASSISTANT CLINICAL DIRECTOR Med School: Indiana University Residency: University of New Mexico Emergency Medicine Interests:  Observation Unit Medicine, ED Chest Pain Evaluation, Wilderness and High Altitude Medicine Having completed my residency at UNM in 2005, I was sad to leave beautiful Albuquerque for 3 years to move to Tennessee.  Thankfully, my wife and I are now back and enjoying the great mountains, fantastic weather and a beautiful new baby girl.  This is a challenging place to work, and a GREAT residency program.  The best part of the job has to be the people we work with – faculty, residents, support staff, nurses and techs are all outstanding     Back         Return to Top        EM Home
