Welcome to Semillas de Salud

“Recruiting Today for the Health Professionals of Tomorrow”

Semillas de Salud is a program for you if you are interested in a career in health. That includes: doctors, mid-level providers such as Physician Assistants or Family Nurse Practitioners, nurses, medical assistants, behavioral health providers such as LISW's, psychologists or psychiatrists, dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants.

 

Just to meet the national average, New Mexico needs 880 providers and 4900 nurses. With the increase in primary care services provided by community health centers, these numbers will increase even more.

Semillas de Salud

 

Semillas de Salud is a program that supports a recruiting pipeline in New Mexico. Semillas de Salud nurtures the educational, economic, and cultural health of our communities, while addressing the problem of Health Professional shortages in the state. The primary focus of the program is youth workforce development.

In collaboration with schools, colleges, universities and other pipeline advocates, Semillas de Salud educates kids about possible job opportunities in the health field, offering health career clubs, mentoring, and on-site experiential opportunities.
