About The Position

The University of New Mexico (UNM) School of Medicine Department of Dermatology in Albuquerque seeks qualified enthusiastic individuals for full-time academic faculty positions in General Dermatology at Assistant Professor in either Clinical Educator or Flex Track. We serve a large, truly diverse, and medically complex patient population. As the only academic health center/flagship institution for the entire state, we are the consultative resource for Dermatology in New Mexico (population 2.1 million) and also serve the Four Corners region of the Southwest. Our population is uniquely multicultural and multilingual, with 22 American Indian tribes and nations (11-12% census population as of 2021) as well as vibrant Hispanic/Latinx (50%), African American (3%), and Asian American (2%) communities. Due to low numbers of practicing specialists in rural areas, our faculty and trainees see the entire spectrum of clinical dermatology, including but not limited to: general and pediatric dermatology, Mohs surgery/cutaneous oncology, dermatopathology, aesthetics, and complex inpatient/medical dermatology. Our main UNM Hospital clinical site offers phototherapy and lasers, we have multiple clinical locations (primarily in Albuquerque but also in Rio Rancho and Gallup), and the Department/training program has an exceptional partnership with the local VA Medical Center as well. At the UNM Department of Dermatology, we pride ourselves in our excellence and commitment to all mission areas, training residents to practice at their highest level and offering robust clinical exposure, high-quality education/professional development, research opportunities and a longstanding dedication to community engagement and diversity/equity/inclusivity and belonging. The ACGME-accredited residency program is currently allotted 4 residents/year, supervised by approximately 10 faculty, including UNM-based, VAMC, Dermatopathology/Pathology and community physicians with Letters of Academic Title.
