Residency Programs Provide Critical Care & Staffing
Medical and dental residents and fellows receive advanced clinical training through the UConn School of Medicine and School of Dental Medicine.
Our medical residents provide critical health care and staffing resources for UConn John Dempsey Hospital, six affiliated hospitals in the Greater Hartford area, and other community facilities and programs.
The School of Dental Medicine and its residents are the largest single provider of emergency dental care, care for the underserved, and care of individuals with acquired and developmental disabilities by partnering with community sites.
“It is a privilege to lead the training of the next generation of physicians for the state of Connecticut and the nation. To do this at my very own medical school and where I trained in residency makes it even better. Our robust residency and fellowship programs are a true testament to UConn’s success.”
