The Egan Edge
Fairfield Egan has many opportunities for students to engage themselves in active learning. We offer clinical experiences, simulation training, events, and professional development series that prepares our students to be healthcare leaders.
Clinical Experience
The Egan School offers an excellent blend of both theoretical knowledge and clinical experience. Throughout the nursing program, students gain clinical and internship experiences at area hospitals, community health and homecare agencies, schools, and the University's nationally recognized Health Promotion Center.
Simulation Center
In the fall of 2017, the Egan School expanded its innovative simulation pedagogy through a new state-of-the-art simulation center as part of students’ clinical education. The simulation labs feature high-fidelity simulators, control rooms, and actors as standardized patients.
Health Promotion Center (HPC)
The Health Promotion Center provides students with an opportunity to clinically practice within our neighboring communities in the Greater Bridgeport area. Through the HPC and the development of strategic partnerships, students and faculty provide preventive and chronic care services with community organizations and agencies that share a common goal of improving the health of people and the community in which they live. Health promotion activities include education, screening, referral, and follow-up services for cardiovascular and diabetes risk reduction, violence prevention, parenting issues, and spiritual/emotional wellness.
