Health Professions Week (HPW) brings healthcare and education professionals together to highlight the many opportunities available in the healthcare field. There’s no charge to participate in the virtual fair, and you can register now. Don’t miss out on this series of virtual tours, live chats, interactive experiences and on-demand content that will start Saturday, November 14, 2020 and end Thursday, November 19, 2020. Here are three tips to ensure you get the most out of this experience. 

Tip #1: Ask Yourself What You Hope to Get Out of HPW

Health Professions Week (HPW) is an event designed just for YOU. You make it what you want. Is there just one single event that you are interested in? Great. Plan to attend for just that event. Have three or four events that are interesting to you – you can plan for that too. If you have just 15 minutes per day, you can experience each of the HPW events!

Tip#2: Explore

Specifically, Explore Careers Confidently! We want to challenge you to pick two or three health professions you might know nothing about and ask questions designed to help you learn more! Each event is designed to help you figure out what questions you have; then you can ask them by visiting with the healthcare providers and current students whom you’ll meet during the HPW Virtual Fair on Thursday, November 19th from 3pm to 8pm eastern (that’s noon to 5pm if you are on the west coast).

Tip #3: Register Now 

Register today so you’ll get all of our awesome email tips and tricks before the event. Make a plan to attend. Put HPW2020 (November 14-19) in your calendar, or set a reminder on your phone, but set time aside now so that you don’t forget to attend. You may even win a prize just for attending!

 Some of our events are only on our social media pages. Make sure to follow HPW on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube) and encourage your friends to join you this Fall. We look forward to “seeing” you this November!
