Midwestern University COVID-19 Next Steps

The clinics have remained open for emergency care and comprehensive healthcare services. The health and safety of our patients is our top priority, and we have increased our already vigorous cleaning protocols, adopted the best practices for patient safety, and implemented appropriate social distancing.

The University will continue to use a hybrid educational model that combines virtual and in-person labs, lectures, and other educational experiences. The University will also continue to monitor the health and safety of our campus community and implement additional strategies to provide a safe learning environment for all. As COVID-19 cases continue to decrease and vaccines become more available, Midwestern University looks forward to opening our classrooms, clinics, and facilities to more students, faculty, staff, and patients.

Midwestern University faculty and staff are being are modifying their work schedules to allow the University to meet the needs of our students, while still maintaining appropriate social distancing requirements. The University has implemented a plan that allows on-campus staffing at 60% for most offices.

Midwestern University has implemented a careful and comprehensive plan, knowing that the well-being, health, and safety of our community comes first. We have returned to an active and thriving campus.
