Amanda Nguyen, DO

 Hey everyone! Born and raised Southern Californian here. After picking up a degree in psychobiology (and a minor in French) at UCLA, I moved to Erie, PA for medical school. In addition to learning a lot about snow, I had the privilege of working alongside a variety of community organizations who helped me develop a passion for improving health literacy. I love family medicine's holistic approach to care and the opportunities we have to build durable, long-lasting relationships with our patients, which is especially important when working with those who feel disenfranchised by the healthcare system. I am thrilled to join the Family Medicine residency here at UNM, where health equity, advocacy, and full-spectrum practice are at the forefront of our training. I am especially excited to be pursuing my interests in LGBTQ health, rural medicine, and women’s health. When there’s down time, you can catch me working on one of my random hobbies, my favorite at the moment being tropical fish keeping. I also enjoy all things involving food, trying to grow things, and energetically but poorly singing showtunes with my girlfriend and our ornery senior dog.
