About This Program
Excellent clinical training: no fellowship trainees, our hospitals are the primary referral center for Otolaryngology for the entire state of New Mexico. In addition, UNMH is a safety net hospital tasked to care for all patients who come to us, regardless of insurance or socioeconomic status. These factors lead to a tremendous volume and diversity of patients, diagnoses and training opportunities.
