Faculty

Our core faculty physicians have practices based at the Eastern New Mexico Family Medicine Residency Center, and serve as leaders of patient care teams and as attending physicians. The educational core is supplemented by local physicians who serve as volunteer instructors for your required and elective rotations. Faculty also plays a central role in developing standards for your community medicine project.
