Physician Assistant Career Fair
This year our department attended a mix of virtual and in person events at 10 different colleges.
Besides the traditional career fairs (virtual and in person) we participated in a number of “meet and
greet” events geared towards senior nursing students where a nurse recruiter gives a presentation
and allows students to ask questions about the recruitment process. This strategy has been used
in our department for the past couple of years and has increased the outreach to our senior nursing
students.
The recruiters also provide support for the University of Michigan School of Nursing by conducting
resume and interviewing workshops to prepare students for the job search ahead.
