Welcome to the University of Connecticut Health Leaders Program!
The University of Connecticut Health Leaders (UCHL) is a community-based, pre-health professional program founded to bridge health care disparities by addressing the social determinants of health for the State of Connecticut. The University of Connecticut is the only public healthcare system, the major public educational institution, and the main health system providing care for Medicare and Medicaid patients in Connecticut, making it an ideal environment for such a program to exist.
UCHL functions all year, focusing on training pre-professional students on advocating for and improving the way we deliver health care for our patients. In return, we hope these students will enter their career field more eager and prepared to tackle the social determinants of health that affect the health of our patients.
Welcome, from the UCHL Leadership Team!
