Shanena Allen, MD

 I chose Family Medicine because of my passion for preventative care and my desire to build lasting relationships with communities and patients. I am drawn to the broad scope of Family Medicine, which allows me to make a difference for people of all ages. I also have a particular interest in Obesity and Lifestyle Medicine. I selected UNM Santa Fe not only for its distinctive 1+2 program but also because it's where I grew up. I’m excited to return to this wonderfully unique community to give back to the place that shaped me, and, of course, enjoy some good green chile!
