We

to those of your students who are interested in the biomedical sciences.
On July 20, 2012, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will host its 5th
NIH Graduate & Professional School Fair. More than 140
colleges and universities from across the U.S. will be sending representatives
of their graduate schools, medical and dental schools, schools of public
health, and other biomedically relevant programs to the Fair in hopes of recruiting
college students and recent graduates to their programs. The day will
also include workshops on getting to graduate or professional (medical/dental)
school; MD/PhD programs; careers in public health, psychology, dentistry, and
pharmacy; interviewing successfully, and the NIH postbac program.
