The New Mexico Primary Care Training Consortium facilitates the equitable development and fosters the sustainability of quality primary care training programs. – Adopted June 2024.
New Mexico has a high quality primary care workforce that meets the health needs of all our communities.
Our Values: Health Equity has as its core a patient informed, high quality, integrated primary care system based on the following values:
I. Create a hub and spoke model for residents to complete rotations in several counties, enabling rural rotation relationships to be developed in every county statewide.
II. Support training, recruitment and retention of Primary Care Physicians in New Mexico.
III. Develop strong partnerships with the University of New Mexico (UNM) and regional medical schools to recruit residents familiar with New Mexico and the southwest into training programs.
IV. Assist with the development of new residency programs and rotations.
V. Expand rotations into other Primary Care Specialties (i.e., Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, and Dentistry).
VI. Improve communication between family medicine residency programs.
