SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval of the affiliation agreement with the City of Plant City through Plant City Fire Rescue to provide clinical training for Health Science Education programs.
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 and twelve 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 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.
ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes)
