The Internal Medicine residency program has a long and proud history of attracting excellent physicians from around the country. Our program offers a wonderful mix of clinical experience, research mentoring, and innovative educational practices.
UNM has a national reputation for excellence in all of the medicine sub-specialties, and our research programs are especially strong. The New Mexico population is unique as well and our residents routinely work with patients of diverse ethnic backgrounds. While the majority of clinical rotations occur at the University Hospital and the VA, residents also have the opportunity to work in private practice, rural settings and international electives.
We have structured our graduate program around the philosophy that residency is a time to learn and for that reason have continuously improved and changed the residency experience to assure that house-staff have adequate rest and faculty support. We value the principles of Evidence Based medical practice, and the importance of scientific curiosity. Education is a high priority for our faculty and the size of our program facilitates a collegial learning environment.
