Welcome!
The University of New Mexico School of Medicine is thrilled that you are considering us for your graduate education. We invite you to begin exploring all of the opportunities available to you at the UNM School of Medicine!
The University of New Mexico School of Medicine was established in 1961 and admitted its first class in 1964. The medical school is located on the north campus of The University of New Mexico which allows students and faculty easy access to the educational, recreational, and cultural offerings of the university.
The School of Medicine has gained national and international recognition for its constantly evolving curricular innovations which are aimed at adapting adult learning theory to medical education.
The UNM School of Medicine has once again ranked second in the nation
for its Rural Medicine program in the latest issue of U.S.
News & World
Report's "America's Best Graduate Schools." The SOM has maintained
this national ranking since 1996, underscoring UNM's commitment to programs that
serve New Mexico's rural communities. The magazine also ranks the School of
Medicine's Family Medicine curriculum 10th in the nation and
Primary Care curriculum 33rd. A total of 126 U.S.-accredited medical schools and
20 schools of osteopathic medicine were surveyed for this year's rankings. The
schools were ranked according to selected measures of academic quality,
including academic reputation, student selectivity, faculty resources, and the
percentage of graduating physicians who go into the primary care specialties of
family practice, internal medicine and pediatrics.
Five of the School of Medicine departments are ranked in the top 40 National Institutes of Health grant funded departments in the nation including Family & Community Medicine (#15), Neurosciences (#26), Pathology (#33), Neurology (#37) and Internal Medicine (#38).
The University of New Mexico School of Medicine is committed to racial and ethnic diversity with special reference to the inclusion of students from groups that are underrepresented in medicine in the state of New Mexico.
