Two years ago, AUC entered into a partnership with Danbury Hospital and the Western Connecticut Health Network (WCHN) to offer Global Health electives to clinical students. Through that collaboration, more than 30 students have gone to five different countries to experience medical care in a new environment. The opportunity has been described as eye opening and life changing, and one that influences students well into their careers as physicians.
