Outreach & Engagement Programs and Scholars Database

The Hartford Health Education Program is a collaboration between the Hartford School System, the School of Medicine, and Dental Medicine. Each year, pairs of medical and dental students spend one hour a week in Hartford middle schools teaching about topics such as puberty, sexually transmitted diseases, violence prevention, and drug abuse. The program is one of these children's few health education resources.
