Quinn Matos, MD

 I grew up on Long Island, New York, where there are stark disparities in healthcare even within one zip code. As I progressed through my education, I realized that this problem was neither local, nor national, but global, and I wanted to do my part in addressing it. During this time, I also learned about medicine from many perspectives, with special focus on “traditional” medicines practiced in the Americas. Throughout my clinical rotations, I became fascinated with each of medicine’s specialties, as each made an integral part of someone’s story. I chose family medicine due to its broad scope, holistic approach, focus on relationships, and its unique ability to serve disenfranchised communities. For these reasons (and many others), I am so excited to continue my training at the Shiprock UNM Family Medicine Residency Program on the Navajo Nation. During my free time, you can find me reading, running, hiking, or at a concert.
