Status:
Approve the continuation of School Affiliation Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida, and University Hospital & Medical Center. The contract period is August 1, 2012 through July 31, 2015.
Career and Technical Education high school and adult postsecondary students district-wide, who are enrolled in Health Science Education Programs, participate in clinical learning experiences through contractual agreements with hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare related facilities. The continuation agreement with University Hospital & Medical Center provides clinical experiences necessary to meet Florida Department of Education mandated student performance standards. This continuation agreement also addresses the requirements of regulatory agencies for students to qualify for certification/licensure examinations upon program completion.
In accordance with a School Board request, staff in the Career, Technical, Adult and Community Education Department developed a survey to measure the effectiveness of the clinical experience. This survey was completed by students, Health Science teachers, and selected staff of the facility. The results presented below are based solely on the number of participants that responded to the survey. That number of participants can vary at each clinical location.
A summary of the survey responses from each group indicates that 80% or higher of those who responded, chose Excellent or Above Average for each survey question they answered. An average rating of below 70% has been identified as the point to begin review of the clinical facility. These findings will be used to make recommendations for modifying clinical agreements that will strengthen the student's job-site clinical experience and strengthen the overall Health Science Program.
This continuation agreement will be executed after School Board approval.
This continuation agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
There is no financial impact to the district.
