Florida Department of Education curriculum frameworks require on-site clinical training for Health Science Education enrollees. At this time we have more than one hundred clinical facilities that provide hands-on laboratory experiences for secondary and postsecondary students based on affiliation agreements. The length of programs in which students are enrolled range from three weeks to fourteen 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. Affiliation Agreements are renewable for the following:

• Kindred Hospital - Central Tampa
• Kindred Hospital East LLC – Bay Area Tampa
• Brandon Regional Hospital Addendum (to include background check requirements)

All District Goals and Critical Success Factors.

Clinical facilities are provided by various health care agencies at no cost to the Hillsborough School District.
