Following our June Executive Board meeting, NMPCTC is pleased to announce several leadership changes to its Board of Directors. Dra. Dolores Gomez has been elected Board President, while former President Dr. Mac Bowen has transitioned into the role of interim Secretary. Dr. Vaillant has agreed to continue serving as Treasurer until the position is formally filled.
Dra. Gomez brings extensive experience in family medicine education to her new leadership role. Before returning to Las Cruces, she spent five years as faculty for the Advanced Hospital Training for Family Physicians fellowship at Maricopa Medical Center. She rejoined the Southern New Mexico Family Medicine Residency Program as faculty in January 2009 and now serves as the program’s Program Director, helping prepare residents to become successful full-spectrum family physicians. Her contributions to medicine, education, and the community were also recognized last fall when she received a Latiné in Leadership Award.
NMPCTC is grateful to Drs. Gomez, Bowen, and Vaillant for their continued leadership and commitment to strengthening primary care training across New Mexico.
