Emma Connelly, MD

 Hello! I’m from Kansas City, Missouri and attended UMKC’s combined BA/MD program. My parents are both teachers in the arts, so choosing a career in medicine took me in quite a different direction. From a very young age I have been passionate about women’s health and think Family Medicine is the best path to pursue a holistic approach to women’s health care and advocacy. I love the flexibility of family medicine and the ability to do a little bit of everything that you are passionate about! One the reasons I was drawn to UNM’s program was the large Hispanic and Native American population they serve as well as the strong women’s health and outreach opportunities the program offers. In addition, I am interested in pursuing Global Health opportunities, working with underserved populations, community medicine, and any way to keep improving my Spanish speaking skills! In my spare time, you can always find me hanging out with my pets, learning a new craft, exploring the town, or chilling with friends and family.
