A $1.3 million gift is helping expand access to dermatology care across New Mexico. https://bit.ly/4rQk7AM

Thanks to the generosity of Jim and Ellen King, UNM will be able to recruit and train more dermatologists, helping address a critical shortage and ensuring more patients can be seen sooner.

This investment will improve access to care, strengthen our workforce, and support better health outcomes for communities across the state.

Patients with skin cancer in New Mexico often wait months—sometimes years—to see a specialist due to a severe shortage of board-certified dermatologists. For those with other disfiguring or symptomatic skin conditions, access to care may remain out of...

About the UNM School of Medicine

In the early 1960s a pioneering group of medical educators, recruited from across the United States, undertook an audacious experiment. They came together to create a medical school in a state beset by endemic poverty and daunting geographic barriers.

Today, New Mexicans are justifiably proud of their School of Medicine, which owes so much to the foresight, vision and courage of those educational pioneers. Over and over, we learn of their fearless questioning of the status quo and their compulsion to ask, "Why?" They are icons to us, but in their day they clearly relished being iconoclasts.

The school they created is celebrated for its innovations in medical education, and has earned a reputation for making diversity in the physician workforce a priority. Its programs in rural and family medicine are nationally recognized and its groundbreaking BA/MD Program has provided a new pathway for students from throughout New Mexico to pursue a medical career.

In 1964, our founders had a view of the value a medical school could bring to our state. They understood that New Mexico's rich and vibrant cultures were invaluable assets to all. Their compact with the state was to provide a greater opportunity for New Mexicans to have a medical education, and at the same time, to help alleviate the severe shortage of medical care in much of the state.
