Status:
Approve the continuation agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida, and Northwest Medical Center, Inc. The contract period is May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2016.
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 Northwest Medical Center, Inc. will provide clinical experiences necessary to meet Florida Department of Education mandated student performance standards. This 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 of the survey 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. A summary of the survey responses from each group indicates an overall rating of 85% or higher as outstanding or above average for each survey question.
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.
