New Mexico Invests to Fix Doctor Shortage | Albuquerque News

New Mexico is making a bold move to fix its doctor shortage by pouring $5 million into UNM’s medical program — covering full tuition for every student this year. The move is already lifting student stress and boosting their desire to stay and practice in the state. Lawmakers see it as a powerful message: these future doctors belong here, and their work matters. While no long-term commitments are required yet, the state is betting big — with a new medical school on the horizon — that this investment will turn the tide and draw more doctors to call New Mexico home.
