Updated May 23, 2023

In April 2021, UConn Health reopened programs allowing students, residents, and other learners outside of UConn Health to participate in educational experiences throughout our facilities. Unpaid experiences such as internships, job shadowing, volunteer assignments, and programs involving visiting speakers, instructors, and other outside faculty visits may proceed, provided hosts and visitors adhere to all COVID-19 related guidelines, as well as any additional program requirements.
