A patient should not have to wait a year or longer to be seen by a provider/specialist. However, for some New Mexicans, that was the case when the UNMH Dermatology Department saw a waitlist of 1-1.5 years long.

The shortages of providers in New Mexico extends to every medical subfield. New Mexico can avoid and lessen the effects of a worsening shortage and system collapse if we take action.

It's officially a new year, meaning there's no better time to take action on reforming New Mexico's medical malpractice laws.

Independent physicians are struggling. Don't just take it from us. Hear from Dr. Andrew Ropp. ... See MoreSee Less
