Hello! We welcome you to our home page. This program has been established through the efforts of the Division of Community Medicine, the Department of Psychiatry, and the Health Sciences Center Library at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center School of Medicine.
The New Mexico Mentorship and Education Program (MEP) in Mental Health Services Research at the University of New Mexico (UNM) is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The program first received funding in August 1999. Focusing on minority mental health issues in primary care settings, especially disparities in mental health outcomes,the MEP provides an intensive, one-week annual training session. The training session introduces mental health services research to minority junior faculty members and graduate students. The MEP also enhances ongoing mentorship relationships with outstanding mental health researchers who serve as both advisers for the trainees' research and as role models in their career development.
