Major Teaching Hospital and only Level-1 Trauma Center

The University of New Mexico Hospital and the VA Medical Center are the largest teaching hospitals in the state and serve as referral centers for a geographic area that extends into neighboring states. Add to that, UNM is a county hosptial and Level 1 Trauma Center, and you get unparalelled clinical diversity under the umbrella of an outstanding academic institution committed to under-served communities.  

Sandoval Regional Medical Center (Bernalillo, NM), Taos Holy Cross Hospital,  Lovelace Hospital (Albuquerque), First Choice Community Clinics (Albuquerque), San Juan Regional Medical Center (Farmington, NM), and Gerald Champion Medical Center (Alamogordo, NM) provide additional sites for resident rotations and clinics. These affiliated hopsitals and clinics provide a spectrum of hospital medicine and primary care and a diverse patient population.

I love that I get to be at a level-one trauma center, taking care of sick patients while also learning medicine at its peak. The program not only challenges me clinically but has also given me a sense of family, both inside and outside the hospital. My co-residents, faculty, and staff have been incredibly supportive, especially as my wife and I welcomed our first child. That support has meant everything during such an important chapter of our lives, and I am grateful to be part of a program that values both professional growth and personal well-being.
