Health Sciences Policy Office

Welcome to the UNM Health Sciences Policy Office.

The Health Sciences Policy Office oversees the development, revision, and issuance of Health Sciences policies.  Through the policies, the office strives to mitigate risk, enhance efficiency, and promote compliance with laws and regulations.

Health Sciences cascaded policies apply to all faculty and staff, regardless of department, unit, clinic, college or facility affiliation. In addition, Health Sciences entities have their own unique policies and procedures. Click on Policy Portal or Policy Site links below to access policies. For entity-specific information, contact the designated point person listed below or Health Sciences Policy Manager, Gail Hammer.

The Policy Alignment Workgroup (the PAW) supports a systems approach to policy alignment and integration.  If you are interested in joining or learning more about this enterprise-wide workgroup, please email HSCPolicyOffice@salud.unm.edu.

Policies hold the key to knowing what’s right, and doing it the right way the first time.
