Healthcare careers are in high demand, and Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences has events this month in Arizona and Minnesota to introduce prospective students to more than 20 promising healthcare career options.
At Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix on Saturday, Oct. 7, the school will host an Education and Career Fair for high school students. The event is designed for students interested in healthcare who want to learn more about the wide variety of nursing and allied health programs available at Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences.

The event is held in collaboration with Arizona State University and Maricopa Community Colleges, with whom the school partners on a variety of programs. For more information, send an email to arzeducareerfair@mayo.edu.
