Dream Makers Health Careers Clubs are after-school clubs established at four Albuquerque, NM-area middle schools including: Hayes Middle School, McKinley Middle School, Taft Middle School, and Native American Community Academy (NACA). Dream Makers programs have also been started at Ramah, Navajo and Las Vegas, NM (Roberston High School and Memorial Middle School). 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.
The Dream Makers Program wishes to stimulate interest in the health professions especially among underserved and underrepresented populations in New Mexico, and to increase awareness for the urgent need for healthcare workers in our state.
Dream Makers will include:
