Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services (RM-
CHCS) is thrilled to welcome its inaugural class of Family Medicine Residents! Over the past several years, RMCHCS completed an extensive accreditation and planning process, and now has an independent Family Medicine Residency that began on July 1. This program will train four early career physicians per year (for a total of 12 physicians in the three-year program once fully implemented) to practice full-spectrum family medicine and to serve the unique needs of our community.
The mission of the program is to train family medicine residents to provide the highest quality accessible culturally competent care while inspiring them to serve New Mexico and the Four Corner’s rural and Native American population. This program is part of a long-term strategy to address the physician shortages in our region.
After a very successful first recruitment season, RMCHCS would like to introduce its first cohort of family medicine residents who will be living and working in Gallup for the next three years.

Dr. Panteah graduated from the University of North Dakota School of Medicine in Grand Forks, ND. He recently completed a one-year research fellowship studying prostate cancer in the Young innovative investigator Program at UCONN Health, which is a branch of the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, CT.
As part of their three-year program, the resident physicians will complete various rotations both at RMCHCS, GIMC and Zuni Hospital. In addition to their work in the hospital, they will staff RMCHCS College Clinic’s new Family Medicine Clinic, which is located in a newly renovated area within College Clinic. The beautiful new clinic space includes 12 new exam rooms, a registration area and office space for the resident physicians as well as RMCHCS faculty physicians. The Family Medicine Clinic provides care for patients of all ages, from pediatrics to geriatrics, including prenatal and pregnancy services.
The Family Medicine Residency and associated clinic are supervised by Dr. Valory Wangler, Program Director, and our talented group of faculty physicians. To make an appointment at the Family Medicine Clinic, call 505-863-1855. Not only is RMCHCS welcoming its first class of resident physicians, but this summer also marks the official start of the Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine’s Four Corners Hub. With Dr. Wangler serving as Regional Associate Dean, the Four Corners Hub brings five third-year medical students to complete a full year of medical school training here in Northwest New Mexico. Students will spend time with RMCHCS’clinic and hospital physicians, as well as with other physicians stretching from Zuni to Farmington. By training the next generation of physicians in McKinley County, RMCHCS will have a lasting impact on access to care as more physicians fall in love with the community and region and elect to establish their practice here.
