UNM is a program that prides itself on graduating residents prepared for practice in any and every environment. We train our residents to manage the sickest patients using cutting edge technology as well as to care for the critically injured in austere environments. The diversity of New Mexico is reflected in our patient population, and we have dedicated ourselves to prioritizing language equity and culturally competent care.
