Join us at UNM to continue your journey in becoming an excellently trained clinician in Family Medicine.
Whether your passion is primary care or subspecialty training, our mission is to provide you with the foundation necessary to meet your professional goals. We want to excel as a leader in Family Medicine.
As a resident, you'll experience a wide-ranging curriculum in the clinic, hospital, and rural and urban New Mexico communities.
Through our clinical training, seminars, conferences, your residency experience has been designed to support the development of a well-rounded, self-motivated, confident and extremely competent family physician.
We endeavor to create tailored schedules that provide sufficient structure, with enough flexibility to spend time gaining skills in your areas of interest—from community-based and under-served medicine, to scholarship, international experiences and public health advocacy.
SELECTION CRITERIA:
Our goal is to find residents who have similar interests to us, so that we can provide the education that people are really looking for, it is important to choose a program that will be a good fit for you and your professional goals.
Our residency is challenging; our clinical services are intense in terms of number of patients and complexity of patients, our institution depends on residents for service, and we focus on our communities, many of which have been historically and currently minoritized which increases the complexity of care even more. And because of that, our graduates leave feeling fully prepared for any challenge and any clinical setting that they feel called to.
UNM Family Medicine offers excellent training in hospitalist medicine, complex Maternal and Child Health, addiction medicine, family planning (including abortion as we are a RHEDI site), gender affirming care, native health and outpatient medicine for people of all ages.
We are dedicated to recruitment and retention of people who have historically been excluded from medicine and our department have native attendings and residents for mentorship, our department houses the Center for Native American Health, we are the admitting team for Northern Navajo medical center and have clinical and community- oriented opportunities on Native Health.
People who are happiest here share our interests, welcome the challenge of working with complex and under-served patients, and are people who can help create a residency group that reflects our communities and who have demonstrated "distance travelled" on their way to medicine.
