University to Host 12th Annual Health Professions Fair on Nov. 4

October 18, 2026 - 23:36

The Aggie Career Studio at New Mexico State University will hold its 12th annual Health Professions Fair on Wednesday, Nov. 4, giving students, alumni, and community members a chance to explore careers in health care and connect with professional programs.

The event is designed for anyone considering a future in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, dentistry, or other health fields. Representatives from graduate schools, professional programs, and health care organizations are expected to attend and speak with attendees about admissions requirements, application timelines, and what day to day work in their fields looks like.

Organizers say the fair serves both students who have already committed to a health career path and those who are still deciding. Visitors can ask questions directly to recruiters, gather information about prerequisites, and learn how to strengthen their applications before deadlines arrive.

The fair also offers a practical setting for networking. Attendees can practice introducing themselves, discuss internship and shadowing opportunities, and get advice on how to present themselves to admissions committees.

Students are encouraged to bring copies of their resumes and dress in professional attire. The career studio recommends preparing a short list of questions in advance so time with recruiters is used well.

The event will run on the university campus, and members of the public are welcome to attend. Those planning to go should check the schedule and location details ahead of time and arrive early to make the most of the sessions.

For students weighing a career in health care, the fair offers a low pressure way to compare programs, meet people in the field, and leave with a clearer sense of next steps.
