Contract for Educational Services with East Central Illinois Medical Education Foundation, Medical Center

(16) On J u n e 18, 1975, the Board of Trustees approved the renewal of a contract with the East Central Illinois Medical Education Foundation for the development of a residency program in family practice in Danville, Illinois. T h e contract is funded by the Federal government under the Area Health Education System contract. The College of Medicine wishes to renew the contract for the period July 1, 1976, through June 30, 1977, to continue the development and the implementation of the residency program. Under the contract, East Central Illinois Medical Education Foundation will provide approximately 1,280 hours of graduate medical education instruction, at the rate of $23.44 per hour, and will provide necessary space for the program. Federal funds not to exceed $33,000 are currently available to fund the contract. This amount represents a reduction of $16,000 from the amount authorized by the Board for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1976. T h e amount has been reduced because funds are available from patient care revenue to offset the cost of the residency program. T h e Chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended approval of the contract, subject to approval by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
