Rurally located program - Gallup, NM

RMCHCS is a private non-profit hospital located in Gallup, the county seat of McKinley County, in Northwest New Mexico. Our residency program is designed to train full-spectrum family medicine doctors to work in a rural context and to understand the nuances of caring for a largely Native American population. In this unopposed program, you will be part of a cohort of four new residents per year. Residents will have exceptional access to experienced family doctors and specialists throughout all three years of training. The program capitalizes on RMCHCS' robust group of healthcare providers and professionals and will emphasize team-based care and care coordination for a vulnerable population
