It brought together about 160 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students from across the state who are preparing for impactful careers in healthcare.

The annual conference empowers future healthcare professionals and fosters a collaborative, innovative community committed to improving the health of all North Carolinians.
Hands-On Training Enhances Skills in Vascular Access Program
Vascular Access program participants from law enforcement, inpatient care, ambulatory care, and public health practiced their skills and received feedback from Dr. Britt Meyer from Duke University Health System. This interdisciplinary program provided healthcare professionals with the latest evidence-based practices for central venous access devices, mid-line catheters, PICCs, implanted ports, and peripheral IVs. Participants differentiated purpose and clinical indication for each device type, site maintenance, and potential complications including infection, infiltration, and thrombosis. The program was held at the Wake Med Simulation Center in Raleigh NC in Fall, 2025.
