HES-Mountain View Regional Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

MountainView Regional Medical Center's internal medicine program is a community-based, osteopathically-affiliated residency in Las Cruces, NM, built around a 168-bed community hospital and a formal partnership with Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM), giving residents access to BCOM's library, simulation center, and research infrastructure while working alongside osteopathic medical students. The curriculum embeds a dedicated one-month research block in each PGY year plus a three-year scholarly activity requirement, and offers a distinctive ACGME Osteopathic Recognition track open to both DO and MD/IMG graduates, positioning it as one of the only IM programs in the region offering this credential. Training emphasizes broad subspecialty exposure (cardiology, GI, nephrology, heme-onc, rheumatology, pulmonary, addiction medicine/public health) within a structured, well-being-focused, mentor-driven environment rather than a tertiary academic powerhouse. The program appears to value trainees who are personally invested in a stable, family-oriented community setting and are open to integrating osteopathic principles into general internal medicine practice.
