Dream Makers Health Careers Clubs are after-school clubs established at four Albuquerque, NM-area middle schools: Hayes Middle School, McKinley Middle School, Taft Middle School, and Native American Community Academy (NACA). The purpose of Dream Makers is to introduce students to health professions, stimulate their interest in science and math, and increase their imaginations in the areas of medicine and health. Dream Makers wants to give students a realistic sense of their abilities, opportunities, and potential for success in the health sciences fields.
Dream Makers is an after-school club that meets twice each month. During one of these meetings, UNM medical students and/or health care professionals will guide students through various activities related to health. Students will receive valuable information about health-related careers and how science and math pertain to these areas.
