Positions

Assistant Professor, Department of Neurosurgery

Alunday is the director of UNM’s Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit. He joins Huy Tran, MD, in providing modern neurocritical care. His enthusiasm and thorough patient care, along with his combined training in emergency medicine and neurocritical care, ensures that our patients receive the best care possible as quickly as possible. His friendly, professional bedside manner makes him a favorite of our patients and their families.

Alunday obtained his MD from the University of Cincinnati in 2008. He completed his emergency medicine residency at Washington University in St. Louis in 2012, and completed a neurocritical care fellowship in 2014 at the same institution before coming to UNM.

In order to provide continuity and shared resources, Alunday has dual faculty status and shares his time in the Department of Neurosurgery and the Department of Emergency Medicine. He will also be working with the department to provide emergency stroke care for patients in rural hospitals through telemedicine technology.
