THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO’S SCHOOL OF MEDICINE LANDS IN THE TOP 10 OF A NATIONAL LIST RECOGNIZING THE SCHOOL FOR PRODUCING A HIGH NUMBER OF FAMILY MEDICINE DOCTORS. THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF FAMILY PHYSICIANS SAYS UNM ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO GET INTO FAMILY MEDICINE. IT ALSO SAYS NEARLY 16 PERCENT OF UNM’S GRADUATES HAVE ENTERED AN ACCREDITED FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENCY PROGRAM OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS.
THE AWARD COMES AT A TIME WHEN THE U-S IS SHORT ON PRIMARY CARE DOCTORS.
