This resource center was initiated to support the changing landscape of regulations, clinical simulation options, telehealth, and general information during the COVID-19 pandemic, and will provide additional supportive resources applicable to higher education healthcare programs moving forward. This resource center has been curated with links to relevant information sources for university healthcare leaders and students. This page will be updated regularly to include new information.
