• NM Practice Relief
The UNM Locum Tenens Program provides primary care practice relief emphasizing rural and medically underserved areas in New Mexico. The program allows primary care physicians relief for continuing education, vacation, illness, or assistance while recruiting. The program exposes upper level primary care residents and recent graduates to practices recruiting for primary care physicians.
Practice sites are usually billed a per diem rate for locum tenens coverage based on a sliding scale which prioritizes rural and medically underserved practices. There are additional charges for hospital coverage and weekend and night call availability.
Our mission is to advance the strength and sustainability of those we serve in an effort to improve access to healthcare in communities throughout New Mexico. We place a strong emphasis on supplying high caliber staff to rural and medically underserved areas at affordable rates.
