Rmchcs Family Medicine Residency Program

Our first and only class of residents are leaving our beautiful community. They brought our patients compassionate, competent care, and our hospital staff were honored to work beside them. Each resident brought with them a level of expertise and diversity, and we are forever grateful for their time in our beautiful community.

To our residents: thank you for trusting us with your training. While it isn't ending as we all hoped and worked for, we could not have asked for a better class of residents. We are proud of you for everything you accomplished in our time together and look forward to watching you spread your wings at your new amazing residency homes. You embody everything our program was and could have been.

We are humbled and grateful,
Gallup FMRP faculty and staff

Dr. Tenzin Yangchen
UNM School of Medicine

I was born in a Tibetan refugee settlement in Bhandara, India. At the age of 13, my family immigrated to the U.S. under the Tibetan resettlement project. I graduated from the University of New Mexico with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. During my undergrad years, I realized my love for Medicine. Before attending Medical School, I worked at Christus St Vincent Laboratory as a Lab Tech for three years. Although I enjoyed working at the lab, my passion for medicine never left me. I then pursued my medical degree from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. My experiences as a medical student made me realize that Family Medicine was my calling. I enjoy being able to practice broad-spectrum medicine. When not working I enjoy traveling, hiking, listening to music from different cultures, watching movies, and cooking. New Mexico has been a second home to me and I am thrilled to join RMCHCS Family Medicine Residency.

Welcome to RMCH FMRP Dr Yangchen!

Dr. Adam Bray
WesternU College of Osteopathic Medicine

Adam received his undergraduate degree in art from the Maryland Institute College of Art and worked as a professional artist for over a decade in movies and video games, working for companies such as Marvel, Universal Pictures, Games Workshop, Wizards of the Coast, and Blizzard Entertainment.

Despite this, Adam always had a deep appreciation for science and medicine, and eventually decided to make a career change into medicine where he could use his skills to directly help others. Adam went to medical school at Western University COMP in SoCal and did a pre-residency fellowship in Emergency Medicine and Critical Care at UNM Hospital in NM for one year after graduation which allowed him to work on the front lines of the COVID pandemic.

In his free time, Adam loves all things art and music, working out, animals, hiking and exploring, reading, and movies.
