ASTHO Immunization Project
The National Hispanic Medical Association is educating physicians and other health professionals on the
important key strategies to increase the influenza immunization for Hispanic adults who have a low rate of
immunizations in the U.S.
NHMA will also be meeting with key Federal, State and private sector partners this year to
increase the outreach to physicians who care for Hispanic patients - including meeting with the
New York State and City leadership in a meeting in Brooklyn, NY in early 2016; the US Mexico
Border Health Commission and partners along the border; the retail pharmacy arena; and the
Federal housing authority through HUD.
Please feel free to disseminate our Toolkit for Physicians, developed by NHMA staff and
steering committee.

The campaign is supported by ASTHO and CDC.
NHMA Resident Mentorship Program
The purpose of the NHMA Resident Mentoring Program is to develop awareness of medical professionalism, career
opportunities and networks for the NHMA Council of Residents. NHMA will develop a national mentoring program
for NHMA resident members (NHMA Council of Residents) matched to NHMA physician members. The program
will promote a unique forum for communication and learning based on the knowledge and experience of Hispanic
physician mentors.
A mentor is an active partner in an ongoing relationship who helps you maximize your potential and achieve your
personal and professional goals.
The program will run from March 2014 to March 2015. It will target Residents that are members of the National
Hispanic Medical Association and pair them with established and leading Professionals in an area of medicine that
the Resident has a career interest in. It will provide a unique opportunity for Residents to gain insight and hopefully
real experience in said area and will simultaneously provide the mentor an opportunity to make a personal
contribution to the professional development of an NHMA Resident. Although, the mentoring program is geared
towards establishing relationships that aim to strengthen a resident’s professional development in the Professional’s
field, it is by no means expected for Mentors to offer an internship or field experience to the Resident.
Below, the mentor and mentee will find their respective application. We ask that you complete the application
byFebruary 7, 2014 so we may begin the process of pairing you with a Resident/Physician. Additional information
about the program can be found in the Program Overview, which can be found below.
To participate in the program, you must be a NHMA member. For additional questions please contact John
Aguilar at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 202628-5895.
