Additional Comments: Training at UNM is the modern day equivalent of coming to the Wild West. Due to our unique population, rural environment, and the many social determinants of health you will not only grow the traditional knowledge of medicine, but be forced to challenge your own values and pre-conceived notions of healthcare. You will leave this program a more compassionate, resilient, and discerning provider. |
