Earn a Reserved Seat at the UNM School of Medicine

The Combined BA/MD Degree Program is designed to help address the physician shortage in New Mexico by assembling a class of diverse students who are committed to serving New Mexico communities. This partnership program between The University of New Mexico College of Arts and Sciences and The University of New Mexico School of Medicine is open to New Mexico high school seniors planning to begin college the fall semester after their high school graduation.

Students will first earn a baccalaureate degree through the College of Arts & Sciences (A&S) in a challenging four-year curriculum specifically designed to prepare them for medical school and ultimately to practice medicine in New Mexico. Upon successfully completing the undergraduate academic and eligibility requirements of the program, students will then enter the School of Medicine (SOM) to complete their doctor of medicine (MD) degree.
