Welcome to the University of New Mexico Diagnostic Radiology residency program! Our program, located in the heart of New Mexico’s high desert, thoroughly prepares our residents for fellowship and practice opportunities across the country.
The mission of the UNM Radiology Residency Program is to train outstanding Diagnostic Radiology physicians capable of performing and interpreting the full spectrum of diagnostic radiology. Our department seeks to provide the highest quality healthcare to the entire population of New Mexico, including those with limited access to care, providing radiology imaging and services unavailable elsewhere in the state. Our goal is to train physicians for future practice in New Mexico, either at our own institution or in community practice. This mission aligns with the mission of UNM SOM, seeking to ensure access to care for everyone in our minority-majority state, regardless of economic or geographic circumstances. We additionally seek to train future educators in diagnostic radiology by providing opportunities to work with and help train diagnostic radiology residents, medical students, and radiology technology students. We strive to foster innovation, discovery and creativity; and translate research and discoveries into clinical or educational practice.
