Successful Career Fair

There was a lively atmosphere at Career Fair 2026, held at the University of Akureyri yesterday. Students in the 9th and 10th grades from local compulsory schools had the opportunity to explore a range of professions and learn about the skills and education required for different careers.

Representatives from SAk were on hand to welcome the enthusiastic students. This year, staff members introduced a variety of professions within the hospital, including:

  • Radiographers

  • Physiotherapists

  • Physicians

  • Biomedical scientists

  • Pathologists

  • Ambulance personnel

  • Speech therapists

  • Healthcare assistants

  • Occupational therapists

  • Human resources advisors

  • Nurses

  • Midwives

The therapy dog Atlas also joined the group.

We would like to thank the many students who took the time to learn about the professions at SAk for visiting us.
