​The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), Bureau for Public Health, will host a Health Professions Recruitment Fair on Thursday, November 19, 2015 as part of National Rural Health Day. 

The event will provide an opportunity for numerous health care facilities from across the state to meet with prospective candidates about employment opportunities including practicing or resident physicians, interns, dentists, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, nurses, LPNs, occupational and physical therapists and office staff.
