VISION
21ST CENTURY UCONN
   UCONN'S HEALTH CENTER AND LAW SCHOOL: CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE
   IN RESEARCH, PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION, AND PUBLIC SERVICE

The University of Connecticut Health Center encompasses the Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine - both ranked nationally for professional preparation and research - the John Dempsey Hospital, the UConn Medical Group and UConn Health Partners, and University Dentists. In 2000-01, the School of Dental Medicine was ranked the top dental school in the country, based on students' test scores on the National Board Dental Examinations. With more than 50 percent of our dental school graduates staying in Connecticut, the School is the primary source of top-flight care for residents of our state. Graduates from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine practice in nearly every city and town in the state and are on the medical staffs of all Connecticut hospitals. The University not only offers teaching programs with nationally recognized curriculums, but also conducts pioneering research in medicine and oral health, reaffirming our status as New England's top public research university. Combining education, practice, and research in medicine and dental medicine, the UConn Health Center provides the highest level of clinical care to the citizens of Connecticut.

The School of Law, one of the leading public law schools in the United States, offers rigorous legal training in a remark-ably beautiful campus environment in West Hartford. Home to the Insurance Law Center, the only program of its kind in the nation, the Law School is an international leader in the study of insurance as both a business and a social institution for allocating risk and responsibilities. Nearly two-thirds of UConn Law School graduates live and work in Connecticut, occupying top positions in then private, public, and non-profit sectors.
