Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of the affiliation agreement with Roseman University of Health Sciences - College of Pharmacy (Roseman) will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost) as the recommended affiliation is non-financial in nature.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Approval of this affiliation agreement will provide for the safety, health and social services needs of County residents by allowing ARMC to provide clinical training to Roseman students, who as a result, will assist in the delivery of care to ARMC patients. As a teaching hospital, ARMC has a number of agreements with educational institutions to provide on-site clinical training for students. The clinical training is necessary for students to obtain their degrees, licenses, and/or certifications.
The volume and diversity of ARMC patients provide a comprehensive educational opportunity to students from Roseman. The university is a fully-accredited educational institution offering professional and academic degrees in Dentistry, Nursing, Health Administration, Biomedical Sciences and related fields. The affiliation agreement ensures students receive specialty clinical training and experience from ARMC, and gain vital skills needed in developing a competent workforce.
The recommended affiliation agreement may be terminated by either party, for any reason, upon 90 days prior written notice to the other party. In the event of termination of the agreements above, any student participating in a program at ARMC shall be permitted to complete their current academic term. ARMC recommends approval of the affiliation agreement to ensure the delivery of specialized medical care to ARMC patients, as well as increasing the future pool of healthcare specialists.
