Conducted at a North Carolina college or university once or twice each academic year, the NC-HCAP Health Professions Forum educates undergraduate students about the health problems that disproportionately affect underrepresented and disadvantaged populations, the need for greater numbers of minority health professionals, and the steps they can take to pursue health careers.

Each forum covers an array of health professions and related issues, including health professions programs offered across North Carolina, admission and graduate requirements and processes for graduate and professional schools, financial aid opportunities, support systems for minority students, minority presence data for featured health professions, and career planning information.

Guest panelists and presenters - including graduate and health professional program faculty, administrators, students and practitioners - engage directly with students to answer questions and to discuss their experiences and career choices. During the forum, students network with their peers as well as with health science faculty and recruiters from school systems, hospitals, and clinics in North Carolina South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia.
