4th Annual Health Professions Conference
The PreMed & PreHealth Advising office is excited to announce the 4th Annual Health Professions Conference!
The conference will take place in person at Northeastern’s Boston campus on Saturday, February 7th, 2026. This day-long conference is a unique professional development and networking opportunity designed specifically for Northeastern PreMed/PreHealth students and alumni.
This year, the conference will focus on the theme of Wellness in Healthcare. Attendees will consider questions like:
- What does it mean to strive for wellness as a health professional student and practitioner – in all dimensions?
- How can you promote multidimensional wellness for your patients as they navigate confusing systems?
- How can we work toward a system that promotes all aspects of wellness?
Registration for the event will be required and will open in November 2025. This event is open to Northeastern students and alumni only. Conference attendees are expected to attend ALL components of this event and must be able to attend this event in-person on the Boston campus.
If you would like to receive regular updates about the conference, and be alerted when registration opens, please fill out a Student Interest Form here.
If you are a school or other partner external to Northeastern and would like additional information on how you can participate, please reach out to HPC@northeastern.edu.
We hope you will join us on campus on February 7th!
