Puentes: Bridging Primary Care in NM Podcast - Ep. 04 - Dr. Alexandra Ninneman

This is the "Puentes: Bridging Primary Care in New Mexico" podcast! Listen in as we feature the people and stories that make primary care special in the Land of Enchantment.

On this episode, we're joined by Dr. Alexandra Ninneman, the New Mexico Regional Vice President for the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR). In October 2023, Dr. Ninneman and fellow CIRSEIU members at UNM Hospital organized a Unity Break to collectively call for improved working conditions, fair compensation, and the overall improvement of healthcare delivery at the hospital.

Listen in as Puentes host Dr. Mac Bowen and Dr. Ninneman discuss a number of topics, including:

• Dr. Ninneman's inspiration to pursue family medicine
• CIRSEIU's background in New Mexico
• How the Unity Break came to be
• Advice for residents and interns looking to become stronger advocates
