New Mexico Medical Reserve Corps

The University of New Mexico Center for Disaster Medicine sponsors the Albuquerque University of New Mexico Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Unit.

An MRC unit is a community-based, organized group of volunteers who can serve during a local emergency situation and assist with local public health needs. The local MRC unit can also be a valuable asset for helping address public health concerns in a community throughout the year.

The MRC program in New Mexico is part of the  US Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Surgeon General, in partnership with the New Mexico Department of Health.

There are eight other MRC units in New Mexico, each with a unique service mission in their own communities:

Alamogordo High School Jr. Medical Reserve Corps
Bosque School Junior MRC
Capital High School
Hatch High School Junior MRC
McKinley County Medical Reserve Corps
Onate High School Jr MRC
Pueblo of Zuni MRC
Southern New Mexico Medical Reserve Corps
