Apply early in the fiscal year for H-1B consideration

Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find verified visa-sponsored openings at Family Health Centers of San Diego.

Start the conversation with their recruiting team as early as possible, ideally by late fall or early winter if you need H-1B sponsorship for the following October start date.
