We are excited to share that registration is now open for the 2026 NCAPA Pre-PA Fair for NC HBCU Students!

April 11, 2026

8:30am - 3:30pm

The Stead Center

1121 Slater Rd.

Durham, NC 27703

Registration is open to all current NC HBCU students who are interested in applying to PA school. The cost of registration is $10 and includes catered breakfast and lunch as well as a variety of fun giveaways.

One of the primary goals of NCAPA's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is to increase the number of underrepresented students in healthcare careers. Several of our committee members are HBCU graduates who wished they had heard more about the PA profession earlier in college. NCAPA is dedicated to raising awareness about the PA role in hopes of welcoming and supporting students from HBCUs.

With NC PA programs under one roof, plus an incredible lineup of practicing PAs, PA students, and NCAPA leaders from across the state, the HBCU Pre-PA Fair is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the profession and prepare to apply to PA school.
