The Combined BA/MD Degree Program is a partnership program between the UNM College of Arts & Sciences and the UNM School of Medicine. The Program is designed to help address New Mexico’s physician shortage by assembling a class of diverse students who are committed to serving communities across the state.
Students first earn a baccalaureate degree through the College of Arts & Sciences in a challenging four-year curriculum specifically designed to prepare them for medical school, and more importantly, to practice medicine in New Mexico. Upon successfully completing the undergraduate academic and eligibility requirements of the program, students will then transition to the School of Medicine to complete their doctor of medicine (MD) degree.
All students who are a part of the Combined BA/MD Degree Program receive exceptional student support to ensure the successful completion of their education. These services include our Last Dollar Scholarship, personalized academic advisement, a living learning community, and more!
This program is open to high school seniors graduating from a New Mexico high school, as well as members of an Indian nation, tribe, or pueblo located wholly or partially in New Mexico (must be graduating from a local high school). Students who meet this criterion and are interested in an educational path that will lead to an MD degree from the UNM School of Medicine are encouraged to apply.
Ever since I can remember, it has always been my dream to become a physician. Through the BA/MD program, as I progress in my educational career to meet my goal of becoming a great doctor, this dream is becoming a reality. As an undergraduate student, the program does a great job of tailoring your education toward your future of serving rural communities. Whether it is the Summer Practicum or the various HMHV courses, your experience as a student is unique and applicable. BA/MD is more than a program that fosters education, diversity, equality, and opportunity. It is a family dedicated to serving the people of New Mexico.
