CT AHEC is sponsoring an ILO (Independent Learning Opportunity) for 1st- and 2nd-year dental and medical students. The ILO is Exploring the Nexus of Primary Care, Population and Public Health and runs Friday, November 9, 2018 through Friday, November 16, 2018. We are excited to offer this ILO which encompasses a variety of experiences, speakers and perspectives.
