Please note:
- PA, PT, and Pharm students: YOU MUST carpool with your classmates and plan to arrive by 6:00 p.m.
- Undergraduate students: YOU MUST find a mutually agreeable meeting location (NOT THE FARM) with the other student scheduled for your clinic and carpool together
- High School student: YOU MUST carpool with the program coordinator or intern
- Current and rising med/dent students are expected to carpool/caravan from UConn Health Center Hospital Entrance. We meet at 5:00 p.m. sharp at the HOSPITAL Entrance and depart no later than 5:30 p.m.
Directions to the UConn Health Center and a Campus Map can be found at http://www.uchc.edu/directions/home.html. To get to the hospital entrance, follow the main road until there is a split in which you will bear left. Continue to follow that road until you come to a toll booth. Go straight through the toll booth and into the main entrance circle and find parking if you plan to carpool with others. You may be asked to help load or transport supplies to the farms if you are driving.
The medical student coordinators can be reached at (860) 202-4512.
