Our department is truly unlike any other. Residents and students develop high-level treatment and research skills in the one-of-a-kind multicultural epicenter of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Excellent care for all patients is our gold standard. UNM Hospital is home to New Mexico’s only Level I Trauma Center, and our students and residents experience a broad array of neurological disorders.
Our faculty provide students and residents one-on-one attention. Graduates praise our close-knit learning environment. Our faculty are experienced in the major neurology subspecialties:

Our research program contributes to groundbreaking discoveries in neurology. We have major research funding for stroke, multiple sclerosis, vascular cognitive impairment, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. These research programs involve both the clinical and basic sciences.
Our advanced neuroimaging in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiography and magnetoencephalography (MEG) allow the best care and research studies.
Faculty in Neurology work closely with our colleagues in neurosurgery to provide state-of-the-art care for patients with surgically treatable conditions such as aneurysms, vascular malformations, hemorrhages, epilepsy surgery, deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease, and pain management. We are able to offer patients experimental treatments for many conditions.
If you love the brain—and a regular rush of adrenaline—you just might fall in love with neurocritical care. Neurointensivist Diana Greene-Chandos, MD, FNCS, discusses what to expect during a Neuro ICU resident rotation in this UNM Neurology blog.
