ADDITIONAL HOSPITAL AFFILIATIONS FOR THE SCHOOL OF BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES, URBANA

(15) The Board of Higher Education's report Education in the Healthy Fields for State of Illinois (June, 1968) recommends that the College of Medicine expand its program of medical education by use of existing clinical facilities in regions throughout the State of Ilfinois, On July 22, 1970, the Board of Trustees approved the establishment of the School of Basic Medical Sciences at UrbanaChampaign, College of Medicine, University of Illinois. On April 21, 1971, the Board authorized the execution of affiliation agreements with one hospital (Burnham City Hospital) in Champaign, Illinois, two hospitals (Carle Foundation Hospital and Mercy Hospital) in Urbana, Illinois, and one hospital (the United States Veterans Administration Hospital) in Danville, Illinois. Affiliation agreements were executed with these institutions. Sixteen medical students were enrolled in the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Urbana-Champaign in the fall of 1971. The affiliated hospitals mentioned above were used by these students for part of their educational experience. All sixteen students satisfactorily completed the year in the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Urbana-Champaign, Thirty-two students will be enrolled in September, 1972, in the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Urbana-Champaign, To implement further the recommendations of the Board of Higher Education with respect to the use of existing clinical facilities and to provide new resources for the increased number of medical students, the Executive Dean of the College of Medicine and the Chancellor at the Medical Center campus recommend that authorization be granted to execute affiliation agreements with two hospitals in Bloomington, Illinois (St. Joseph Hospital and Mennonite Hospital); one hospital in Charleston, Illinois (Charleston Community Memorial Hospital); two hospitals in Danville, Illinois (Lake View Memorial Hospital and St. Elizabeth Hospital); two hospitals in Decatur, Illinois (Decatur Memorial Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital); one hospital in Mattoon, Illinois (Mattoon Memorial Hospital); and one hospital in Normal, Illinois (Brokaw Hospital). Not only will these affiliation agreements provide a broader base for the support for the medical education program of the School of Basic Medical Sciences at UrbanaChampaign but also will permit planning for residency training programs in several hospitals in central Illinois (Governor's planning region 3-B). These hospitals and those with whom affiliation agreements have already been executed could form the nucleus of a new clinical school of medicine based at the UrbanaChampaign campus. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Pogue, authority was given as recommended. Copies of the agreements are being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.
