HMS Family Medicine Residency Program (FMRP)

HMS was reaccredited as a sponsoring institution with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). HMS serves as a key partner in the development of the future Grant County residency program in collaboration with the University of New Mexico and Gila Regional Medical Center.  

Nestled in the heart of the Gila Wilderness, the HMS Family Medicine Program is specifically designed in the “1+2” format to offer top quality training in the urban setting at Memorial Medical Center in Las Cruces, NM, during the intern year, followed by a two-year robust, rural community training experience in Silver City, NM

Hidalgo Medical Services, a federally-qualified health center with 20 years of experience as a frontier and rural training hub, welcomes two residents per academic year as a 2/2/2 program.

“HMS is recognized by HRSA as the first Teaching Health Center in New Mexico"

"At a time when the United States finds itself with an inadequate supply of physicians, the distribution of healthcare and access remains problematic. HMS has developed the HMS Family Medicine Residency Program in response to the primary care needs of our state and nation.”
