Hartford HealthCare & Sacred Heart University Enter Agreement

Sacred Heart University and Hartford HealthCare have announced a comprehensive agreement to collaborate on and expand upon a wide variety of clinical training and development activities—launching a new scholarship, a medical certificate program while augmenting instructional and placement opportunities. Both organizations will benefit—as the agreement better supports SHU nursing and health professions students, while building an important pipeline for Hartford HealthCare in an era of well-known workplace shortages in health care, in Connecticut and across the country.

Both organizations celebrated their agreement today at SHU’s East Building
atrium at West Campus.

The agreement covers a spectrum of mutual training and clinical placement options. It will create a range of opportunities for SHU students pursuing BSN and APRN nursing degrees and will present opportunities for those studying emergency and internal medicine, primary care, psychiatry, neuropsychology and women’s health. It will likewise create new opportunities for students interested in becoming physician assistants (PA), physical and occupational therapists, radiographers and other types of diagnostic imaging technicians.
