Description:

4     This Board Report identifies four (4) Affiliation Agreements between the School District of Palm Beach County and Boca Raton Community Hospital, Medicap Pharmacy, Dennis Feinrider, M.D., and The City of Palm Beach Gardens participating in the clinical component of our Health Science Education Program.

4     The Affiliation Agreements are necessary to meet clinical requirements of the Florida Department of Education curriculum frameworks and required by the Florida Board of Nursing.

4     In order to expand our students’ opportunities for clinical experiences, effective FY05 we are adding the above referenced agreements.
