Kerry Zimdars, MD

 I was drawn to Family Medicine by its focus on getting to know your patients as people and recognizing how the everyday aspects of their lives affect their health and wellbeing. It is the field that provides you the opportunity to care for everyone from  a newborn to their great-grandparents and ensure that no matter where you are, you have the tools and the capability to address their needs. As someone with a passion for public health and advocacy, Family Medicine was a natural fit, as was UNM. My interactions with members of UNM Family Medicine always felt so welcoming and open, which is exactly what I hope for in any team I may be on. I couldn’t be more excited to explore life in the Southwest as I relocate from Wisconsin to New Mexico.
