University of Colorado Boulder
CU Boulder’s Health Careers Day connects 3,000+ pre-health students with universities, professional schools, and organizations across health-related pathways.
HCD is intended for exhibitors recruiting or providing information about post-baccalaureate, graduate, or professional training in fields such as:
- Medicine (MD, DO, Podiatry)
- Dentistry
- Pharmacy
- Nursing (ABSN, Direct-Entry MSN, NP pathways)
- Physician Assistant (PA)
- Physical Therapy (PT)

- Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant (CAA)
- Public Health and related healthcare graduate programs
We also welcome select organizations offering active, structured opportunities for pre-health students, including clinical or healthcare-adjacent internships, research or public health experiences, and pipeline or preparatory programs. Participating organizations should have current opportunities available and a clear connection to healthcare career preparation.
