Colorado is home to many foreign trained refugee and immigrant healthcare professionals eager to contribute to Colorado's healthcare workforce. But before becoming US healthcare providers, they often face challenging obstacles. Familiarity with the US healthcare system, the acquisition of domestic credentials, knowledge of current resume standards, application processes and interviewing skills are just a few. Spring Institute’s Colorado Welcome Back program is seeking self-motivated, patient and compassionate professionals to assist foreign trained healthcare providers with job searching activities. This is a great opportunity to help immigrants and refugees pursue their professional dreams.
