Students in our Dream Makers Health Careers program have been busy making their health career dreams come true! 💫
Throughout the year, we've welcomed middle and high school students from a myriad of areas across New Mexico to experience and explore health professions right on our beautiful campus. They've also connected with health care experts and medical students, and have become more grounded individuals through identity development and community engagement. Stay tuned as we celebrate these students during their Dream Makers graduations! 🎉

Hooray for promoting health professions! 🎉
Thank you to UNM Health Professions Symposium for having us at their 2026 Health Professions Symposium last Saturday! It was great to speak with high school and college students from all across the state about how they can get plugged in with health career pathway programming to support their educational and professional journeys. This event is such an amazing way for students to acquire so much information and insight to in turn explore and achieve their health career goals. We're already looking forward to next year!

Participating in this year's creates a wave of positive health equity impacts that reach throughout our community. Your contribution allows our office to expand our programs to grow New Mexico's healthcare workforce through academic, leadership, and mentorship engagement. 🌟

To get a snapshot of your impact, hear from Elicia Trujillo, an alumna of our Communities to Careers Dream Makers program, and an MD candidate of the Class of 2028 UNM School of Medicine:

"Dream Makers was one of the most impactful experiences of my high school years. It provided me with meaningful leadership opportunities and helped shape my passion for medicine. As a second-year medical student at UNM, my favorite part is walking the same halls where I once stood as a Dream Makers student, imagining a day I would become a medical student. Today, I have the privilege of living that dream."
