Welcome to the Department of Pediatrics at the University of New Mexico.
For more than 50 years, the UNM department of pediatrics has been dedicated to improving children’s health in New Mexico. We have grown from a small group of dedicated clinicians to a diverse institution, committed to cutting-edge research, innovative education, world class clinical care and collaborative family advocacy.
Innovative residents and faculty from around the world animate and strengthen these programs—our commitment to excellence is evident in miracles that occur daily in our labs, classrooms, and clinics.
To meet the growing needs of our diverse state, we continuously develop community outreach programs. We are proud to operate centers such as:
UNM faculty members are dedicated generalists and specialist physicians. Together, we tackle the most challenging cases and provide compassionate, comprehensive care. Additionally, we are educating the next generation of doctors and researchers to care for the future of New Mexicans.
