Clinical Rotations

Presbyterian Healthcare Services, founded in New Mexico in 1908, is a locally owned, statewide, not-for-profit healthcare system serving one in three new Mexicans. We have nine award-winning hospitals in seven communities and more than 100 clinics and urgent care locations throughout New Mexico offering access to over 50 specialties, all dedicated to providing patient centered care.

The Academic Medical Education Department manages clinical rotations for future physicians, physician assistants (PAs), and nurses with prescriptive authority. Presbyterian welcomes residents and medical students in any year of their education.

Our current physician residency programs include:

• Family Medicine

• Internal Medicine

• Urology

• Pathology

• Emergency Medicine

Our precepted rotations include both hospital and clinic-based locations that meet the educational program needs of students.

• Physician Assistant (PA)

• Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM)

• Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP)

• Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)

• Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)

• Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist (SRNA)

Presbyterian has contracts with many institutions, covering a variety of degree programs, including:

• Medical Doctor (MD)

• Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO)

• Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM)

• Physician Assistant (PA)

• Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CNRA)

• Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)

• Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)

Residents and students must be currently enrolled in an accredited academic program, be in good academic standing, and be attending an institution with which Presbyterian has a current affiliation agreement.

To see if your school has a current affiliation agreement, please email Presbyterian’s clinical rotations team at clinicalrotations@phs.org.

If your educational institution does not have an affiliation agreement in place with Presbyterian, we would be happy to start the process with your school’s clinical advisor. Keep in mind that processing new Affiliation Agreements is a legal contracting process and can take up to 90 days to complete.

Finding a Preceptor

Please contact your school’s clinical coordination staff to assist you in finding a preceptor within Presbyterian. The Presbyterian medical education department does not coordinate preceptor/student placement.

Once you find a preceptor, complete the Preceptor/ Learner Agreement form. A new agreement form is required for each rotation. You can upload a PDF file of your completed form in your application submission.

Contact Information

Please reach out to our clinical coordination staff if you have any questions.
