Korazon Romero, MD

 Family Medicine was a career that I knew would allow me to build meaningful relationships with patients over many generations. Having interests in preventative medicine, women’s health and ob, pediatrics, addiction medicine and more made Family Medicine a perfect fit for me. I grew up in rural New Mexico, and having the ability to train full spectrum to be able to return and serve a rural community was always a goal. I love Family Medicine for the approach they take to patient care, always taking into account social factors and thinking of ways to help combat issues outside of medicine that affect health. Training in New Mexico means connecting with a patient population that is diverse, connected through many different beautiful cultures, and unfortunately underserved. To me, being a physician in New Mexico means being ready to treat anything that comes through the hospital/clinic doors to some extent and that exposure during residency was exactly the training I felt I needed to best serve my patients in the future.
