Jacquelyn Blackstone, DO, Associate Professor, chose to work UNM as an institution with a mission—commitment to quality care of all patients with an emphasis on the underserved. Having been trained in a city hospital tradition, I have always preferred to work with patients of diverse backgrounds who may have minimal to no resources. I have found a special satisfaction in the outreach work that we do- coordinating services to the diverse Native American / Hispanic population of New Mexico and attempting to make their cross-cultural experience of our flawed medical system better. The number of complex patients that we see in our MFM clinics continues to grow and I find enduring satisfaction in providing comprehensive care and services to all these women regardless of their ability to pay. I enjoy learning from them about our cultural differences while sharing our common experiences as women. Improving the diabetes program and initiating the Centering for Diabetics program is an an attempt to eliminate some health care disparities. A personal commitment to continuity of care in our outreach program has helped develop and improve those services. I maintain my interest in caring for women with substance use disorders. I am certified to prescribe buprenorphine (subutex) and have years of experience partnering with methadone clinics in the medical management of these conditions in pregnancy. I persevere in caring for this challenging group of patients. In addition, I have worked with the PALS MFM transport program on updating the Guidelines and Algorithms that they use in patient transport. I also function as a liaison with the department of medicine’s consult service to develop guidelines for consultations, admissions, and resident education.
