Our residency program is conducting virtual interviews for the 2022-2023 interview season following the recommendation of the AAMC. As the AAMC notes, virtual interviews improve equity by eliminating the cost of travel and thus opening up the possibility of interviewing to those who may have financial constraints. Virtual interviews also can reduce applicants’ stress and anxiety by making interviews easier to schedule during clinical rotations and other educational experiences. Finally, virtual interviewing reduces the environmental impact of large numbers of flights and other fossil fuel burning travel.

About the Southern New Mexico Family Medicine Residency Program

The residency program was established in 1996 to train physicians for southern New Mexico, and since then has placed over 60% of its graduates in the state, many in the immediate area.

Our mission is to teach, collaborate, lead, and inspire to transform the education and health of our whole community. We strive to transform health care education and delivery to be socially responsible and eliminate health disparities in New Mexico.
