Biography
Andre Montoya-Barthelemy, MD MPH is a native of New Mexico and physician with 8 years of experience in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. He graduated from the Tulane University School of Medicine in 2013 before moving to Minneapolis, Minnesota for post-graduate training at Hennepin County Medical Center in General Surgery and the HealthPartners Clinics in Occupational Medicine. After graduation he continued with HealthPartners as a clinical physician, assistant residency director, University of Minnesota lecturing faculty, and consultant medical director for General Mills, Xcel Energy, and the Minnesota Department of Corrections. At the University of Minnesota, his public health thesis explored the health effects of federal workplace protections, work for which he was recruited to chair a presidential task force examining hazards of correctional settings for the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM). He is so grateful to be back in the New Mexico sunshine, and eager to support the health of New Mexico workers and the education of residents at the University of New Mexico.
