Affiliation Agreement In keeping with previously established policies and procedures, the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the College of Human Medicine (School of Medical Technology) have requested approval of an affiliation agreement between the University and the William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan. This agreement is worthy of special comment. Unlike previous agreements which have been designed to provide MSU students off-campus clinical training required in their University program of study, this agreement is concerned with placement of MSU graduates. Our School of Medical Technology provides a four-year didactic bachelorTs degree program not a clinical internship experience. MSU graduates wishing such training must apply to institutions which have an internship program and while they have always been competitive, they do face a continuing problem in that the total number of students from Michigan institutions who qualify for admission to intern ship programs greatly exceed the number of positions available. continued - -- Other Items for Action Affiliation Agreement * 9738 Other Items for Action, cont. i D. OTHER ITEMS FOR ACTION, cont. 1. Affiliation Agreement, cont, November 1, 1980 Affiliation j Agreement, cont.1 The primary significance of this affiliation agreement is that by entering into it, the likelihood of the hospital accepting graduates from our School of Medical Technology to their internship program is enhanced. While there would be other benefits accruing to our School of Medical Technology by virtue of this agreement, the medical schools believe that facilitating admission of our graduates to the hospital's internship program is sufficient to justify an agreement of this sort. This affiliation agreement has been examined by the Offices of the Deans of the Colleges of Osteopathic and Human Medicine, by the Office of the Provost and by the Office of the General Counsel. The agreement comes to the Board of Trustees with the Administration's recommendation that it be approved. Establishment of Department of Internal Medicine, College of Osteopathic Medicine, approved RESOLVED that the affiliation agreement between Michigan State University, College of Osteopathic Medicine and the College of Human Medicine (School of Medical Technology) and the William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan, be approved. Approved by a vote of 7 to 0 on motion by Trustee Bruff, seconded by Trustee Lick. 2. Establishment of Department of Internal Medicine, College of Osteopathic Medicine The Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine recommends the establishment of a Department of Internal Medicine. The creation of this Department represents a long-standing objective of the College, one which has been assigned a high priority ranking by the Dean in the College Annual Evaluation and Report. Among osteopathic medical specialties, Internal Medicine is a basic discipline and has departmental status in established osteopathic schools throughout the country. Establishment of a Department of Internal Medicine is compatible with and supportive of C0MTs emphasis upon preparation of primary care physicians. The College presently has on its faculty eleven Board certified Internists, seven of whom are full-time. These internists constitute the Division of Internal Medicine within the Department of Osteopathic Medicine. The Division, with a director, currently functions with an appreciable degree of autonomy and the transition from divisional to departmental status should entail minimal organizational changes. Funding for the new Department would be derived primarily from budget currently committed for the support of the present osteopathic internist group. Future growth and budgetary requirements of the unit would be developed within the overall context of COM priorities and would be subject to funding available to the College. Discussions have been held with the members of the present Division of Internal Medicine, Department of Osteopathic Medicine, the Dean's Advisory Staff, and the College Advisory Council. In all instances, support was given to the concept and development of a new Department of Internal Medicine. '. 1. The Executive Committee of the Academic Council reviewed this proposal at their I | meeting on October 13, 1980, and adopted a motion that further consultation with the academic governance system is not necessary. 'I j It is recommended that this proposal from the College of Osteopathic Medicine be approved. 1 | j RESOLVED that the Department of Internal Medicine, College of Osteopathic Medicine, be established effective January 1, 1981. {Approved by a vote of 6 to 1 on motion by Trustee Bruff, seconded by Trustee Stack. ^Trustee Fletcher voted No. Land Sale [3-.
