The Injury Prevention Center (IPC) at Connecticut Children’s provides internship opportunities for high school, undergraduate, graduate, medical and post-doctoral students. Several IPC researchers hold faculty appointments at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, Trinity College and Eastern Connecticut State University.

Since 1993, IPC team members have instructed an academic course offered in the Graduate Program in Public Health at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine called “Injury and Violence Prevention.”
