Colin Sevareid, MD

 I chose Family Medicine because I believe the specialty has a unique, holistic perspective on health that views the patient in the context of their goals, values, background, and community. I love that I will have the ability to treat my patients at all stages of their lives. I was drawn to UNM because of the combination of strong academics with a mission to care for the underserved and marginalized, and actively make a difference in the community it serves. It was important to me to choose a program concerned with advancing health equity, and one in which the spectrum of training included opportunities in reproductive health, addiction medicine, and gender-affirming healthcare. I'm also excited to train at UNM because of the location: I'm originally from Los Angeles, but Albuquerque has been a second home to me for several years, as it’s home to my partner, Sarah, and my two stepsons. I love the climate, landscape and culture of New Mexico, and I'm proud to finally make it home to the Land of Enchantment!
