Samantha DeWees, MD

 Hello! My name is Samantha DeWees and I grew up in Farmington, New Mexico.  I can now officially say I will be a Lobo for Life as I’ve completed college, medical school, and will now pursue residency in Albuquerque at UNM! Early on in my medical school journey, I knew family medicine was the specialty for me because it allows providers to listen to people’s stories and incorporate that relationship into their care plan. UNM’s family medicine residency gives me the opportunity to continue developing skills in my areas of clinical interest including addiction medicine, street medicine, reproductive justice, and working with rural/urban underserved populations. I’m incredibly grateful to continue my training with the people of New Mexico as my teachers.

If I’m not doing medicine-related activities, you can find me cuddling with my cat on our couch watching TV or hosting a group of friends over for a game/dinner night.
