Build Your Network One Step at a Time
Networking doesn’t have to be awkward or time-consuming—especially for busy graduate students. Here are some easy, high-impact ways to start building meaningful connections in the health professions:
Refresh Your LinkedIn
Make sure your profile reflects who you are today. Add your degree program, recent roles, and any skills or certifications. A strong profile helps recruiters and peers find great reasons to connect with you.
Stay in Touch with Your Classmates & Faculty
Your classmates today are your collaborators tomorrow. Faculty members can become mentors or references. Send a message to reconnect or ask how you can support each other’s goals.
Show Up to Events
Whether it’s a webinar, guest speaker, or networking night, being present matters. Even logging in from home helps you stay plugged in and visible.
Join a Professional Association
Most associations offer discounted student memberships. You'll gain access to exclusive job boards, local chapters, and even mentorship programs—great for making real-world connections.
Try an Informational Interview
Reach out to someone in a role you admire and ask for 20 minutes of advice. People are often happy to help, and you’ll walk away with insights (and possibly a new contact).
Share & Comment
Posting even one article a month on LinkedIn—something you’re reading, researching, or curious about—helps build your voice in the field and shows you're engaged.
Follow Healthcare Leaders & Employers
Stay ahead of the curve by following organizations and people making an impact in the industry. You'll be the first to know about events, open roles, and new ideas.
Always Say Thank You
When someone gives you their time or insight, a simple thank-you email goes a long way. Gratitude builds relationships.
