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
