Hartford Business Journal covers UNECOM partnership with Connecticut hospitals

On April 1, 2011 the Hartford Business Journal reported that Rockville General and Manchester Memorial hospitals that form the Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN) will become the state's first teaching hospitals for students east of the Connecticut River with a new partnership ECHN has signed with the UNE College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Sixteen third-year medical students will rotate through all of the medical disciplines at both hospitals and ECHN physicians' offices. They will also be taught by ECHN medical staff members with faculty appointments at UNECOM.
