Christian Tyler Smith, DO

 I am thrilled to join the UNM Family Medicine Residency and continue my medical training in New Mexico. The calling of Family Medicine Physician is truly an honor and something I have worked diligently to prepare for. I moved to Las Cruces in 2017 to attend medical school at Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine but the majority of my clerkships were located throughout the state. I feel fortunate to have worked in various hospitals and clinics in Albuquerque, Gallup, Belen, Espanola, Edgewood and the Isleta Pueblo. Each community provided the charm and diversity that make New Mexico so special. While continuing my training at UNM, I hope to impart empowerment in health and wellness to each of my patients. I love Family Medicine because the scope of practice is broad, much like my own interests. These include addiction medicine, chronic pain management, childhood development, nutrition and public health. Beyond medicine, I enjoy spending time with family, hiking, playing guitar and reading.
