The HMS Family Medicine Residency Program has been specifically tailored to provide unsurpassed GME training in rural and frontier family medicine.
Nestled in the heart of the Gila Wilderness, the HMS Family Medicine Residency Program is specifically designed in the “1+2” format to offer top quality training at Memorial Medical Center in Las Cruces, NM during the intern year, followed by a two-year robust, community training experience in Silver City, located in southwest New Mexico.
Decentralizing resident education adds value to the education experience by ensuring that each resident has more community-relevant experiences and training that models the generalist-specialist relationship. At a time when the United States finds itself with an inadequate supply of physicians, the distribution of healthcare and access remains problematic. HMS has developed the HMS Family Medicine Residency Program in response to the primary care needs of our state and nation.
With 20 years of experience hosting rural training rotations, HMS has been recognized by HRSA as the first Teaching Health Center in New Mexico and welcomes two residents per academic year as a 2/2/2 program.
