SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Renewal of Affiliation Agreement for Health Science Education, 2019/2020 (Workforce Connections)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval of the following affiliation agreement to provide clinical training for Health Science Education programs. Anazao Health Corporation The Florida Department of Education curriculum frameworks require on-site clinical training for Health Science Education enrollees. At this time, we have 101 active clinical facilities that provide hands-on clinical experiences for secondary and postsecondary students based on affiliation agreements. The length of programs in which students are enrolled range from three weeks to 14 months. These standard agreements are necessary to fulfill our obligation to students for clinical experiences. The partnerships we establish with the clinical facilities in this community are essential to our Health Science Education programs and beneficial to the health care industry. We are pleased that the quality of our graduates provides an incentive to the health care industry to continue our long-term mutually beneficial relationship. This facility requires the School District of Hillsborough County, FL to be the first signature on the affiliation agreement.
