Family Medicine Residency
50th Anniversary
Throughout medical school, I realized that what was most important to me was to have long-term relationships with patients, to allow me to work with different generations of the same family. It was clear to me that UNM matched my goals in every way!
— Dr. Carlos Cano, UNM FM Residency Graduate, Class of 2020
