Austin Caballero, DO

 I was raised in Runge, a small town deep in rural South Texas. I went to Trinity University, where I studied neuroscience, and then completed medical school at UNTHSC-TCOM. During my studies, I discovered my passions while working with marginalized populations and volunteering with individuals living in transitional shelters. I am fortunate to have found family medicine where I could realize my passion for addressing social determinants of health at the population and individual levels. Through my mission to cultivate adaptive and healthy communities, I believe in patient advocacy and facilitating conversations focused on addressing health disparities. I chose UNM because of its commitment to training full-spectrum family physicians who deliver compassionate care to underserved populations. I am happy to call UNM my home alongside caring professionals, their commitment to community health, and being located in the natural beauty of New Mexico. Additionally, my special interests in family medicine include adolescent medicine, minority health, and medical education. In my free time, I enjoy watching the latest films, learning music on the piano, improving my baking skills, and adventuring through parks and trails.
