Prospective Residency Applicants

Each year, UNM welcomes six future PM&R leaders into our categorical residency—the premier physical medicine and rehabilitation residency in New Mexico. We participate in the National Resident Matching Program, which means we attract the best and brightest PGY-1 residents each year.

How to Apply

Submit your application through the Electronic Resident Application Service (ERAS) by December 19. We conduct interviews on a rolling basis through early January. We require three letters of recommendation with your application. You may submit COMLEX scores as an alternative to USMLE scores if necessary.

While we recognize that most applicants use a generic personal statement for all applications, we are interested in learning about you personally and why you believe you are a good fit for our relatively new program in New Mexico, and not simply why you chose PM&R. Specifically address why you feel our program fits with your interests and goals, and how you feel you can contribute to our residency indicating your interest in UNM PM&R at the end of your generic personal statement.
