Your experiences will set you apart
You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the field to practice your skills, interact with patients and make a difference.
We share partnerships with acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinical health networks, private primary care practices, specialty offices and community health settings. These experiences are what will set you up for success — and also what will set you apart from the competition in the field of health care. Below is a list of our primary clinical partners and a representative list of our clinical affiliates.
Make an impact, at home and abroad
Outside of clinical rotations, students in the Quinnipiac School of Nursing have many opportunities to build the diverse set of skills needed by today’s nurses and make a visible difference while they do it.
- Participation in Joining Forces, a partnership program that encompasses an interprofessional group of students and faculty who examine the health issues affecting veterans
- International service trips and study abroad opportunities to assist local health clinics in treating underserved populations
- Annual Falls Prevention Awareness Day, helping local senior citizens learn how to prevent fall-related injuries
- Center for Interprofessional Health Care Education (CIHE), which gives health science, nursing and medical students the opportunity to collaborate and develop skills in hands-on, team-based health care environments.
Serving our local community
Quinnipiac University EMS is a student-run volunteer supplemental first responder agency. They formally began operations in the fall of 2019, providing EMS coverage for the Mount Carmel and York Hill campuses. In addition to responding to medical emergencies, QU EMS members volunteer their time providing CPR and Stop The Bleed classes for the Quinnipiac community.
Aside from being an excellent opportunity for students to gain experience in healthcare, QU EMS is also a great opportunity for students to gain both leadership and teaching experience.
