Utilizing this flexible design, a program may be planned for a few days, one or two weeks, or possibly a more extended period of time. The minisabbatical program is primarily designed for physicians who are actively involved in full time clinical practice of medicine in New Mexico. Applicants must meet the requirements for obtaining training authorization at the University of New Mexico Hospital. In general, physicians holding a valid New Mexico license to practice medicine and malpractice insurance meet these requirements. Minisabbatical experiences range from participation in rounds to bedside evaluations of patients as well as case presentations and the opportunity to discuss with faculty the most appropriate management in patient care.
