The University of New Mexico (UNM), School of Medicine (SOM) and Health Sciences Center (HSC) is seeking a full scope nurse-midwife that will contribute actively to the climate of diversity and inclusivity. We invite applications for an Open Rank, Lecturer Track position in Midwifery. UNM Obstetrics and Gynecology’s Midwifery Division has a busy clinical practice and is active in education.

We are a large midwifery group practice that provides full scope midwifery care within the UNM Health System. We are a group of diverse and dedicated midwives who are passionate about patient care, advocacy, health system improvement, and education of the next generation of clinicians. This is a full time clinical position within an academic system which includes clinical teaching of a variety of learners. This is not a didactic teaching position. Our role as faculty within the SOM provides many opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration & professional growth based on your interests. New Mexico offers autonomous midwifery practice, beautiful high desert outdoor adventures, and sunny weather almost every day. Come join us!

The position will manage women's health care, focusing particularly on pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, care of the newborn, and the family planning and gynecologic needs of women. The position will practice within the health care system incorporating appropriate consultation, collaborative management, or referral, as indicated by the health status of the client. The position will practice in accord with the Standards for the Practice of Midwifery, as defined by the American College of Nurse-Midwives. The candidate hired will be expected to participate in the education and training of student nurse midwives and other advanced practice providers, medical students, residents and fellows in the clinical setting. Classroom education of these learners may also be a possibility. This position requires a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion; student success; and effective engagement with broadly diverse communities.

The UNM HSC is the largest academic health complex in the state. HSC combines its four mission areas – education, research, patient care and community outreach – to provide New Mexicans with the highest level of healthcare. The SOM is celebrated for its innovation in medical education and has earned a reputation for prioritizing diversity in the workforce. The lifestyle is also very attractive: Albuquerque, a beautiful city with mountains to the east and a mesa to the west, is renowned for its fantastic weather. Outdoor activities are abundant and the cost of living is moderate, while offering all the amenities of a large city. The state of New Mexico is multicultural and diverse with excellent local cuisine, breathtaking sunsets, multiple cultural and historic sites, lakes, rivers, deserts and mountains.
