Education at the UNM Health's Department of Neurosurgery is grounded in a patient-centric philosophy. Inclusion, diversity and benevolence are woven into our department's mission. These values lay the foundation for education of future neurosurgeons and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) leaders.
Our goal is to provide the highest level of patient care and comprehensive medical education, culminating in the development of compassionate, leading health care experts.
