Contracts for Educational Services with Metropolitan Chicago Group of Affiliated Hospitals, Medical Center

(17) In several prior actions the Board of Trustees has approved contracts with the Metropolitan Chicago Group of Affiliated Hospitals for educational services to assist in the expansion of the medical education programs of the College of Medicine. T h e Chancellor at the Medical Center has recommended that the University continue to contract for these educational services for FY 1977. Specifically, it is proposed that contractual arrangements be developed between the University and the hospitals listed below to support in part the further implementation and conduct of medical education programs of the College of Medicine in the following amounts: $100 000 Illinois Masonic Medical Center L. A. Weiss Memorial Hospital 100 000 100 000 Lutheran General Hospital MacNeal Memorial Hospital 100 000 Mercy Hospital 100 000 Ravenswood Hospital 100 000 Total $600 000 Contracts with the Metropolitan group for the remainder of the required educational services for FY 1977 will be recommended to the Board at a later date. The present recommendation seeks to obligate Federal funds prior to June 30, 1976, to avoid the lapse of such funds. The total contract with the Metropolitan group is estimated to be $3,000,000 for the fiscal year. It is further recommended that the Chancellor at the Medical Center, with the concurrence of the Comptroller, be granted authority to approve changes in the amounts of any of the individual contractual arrangements within the total ($600,000). Federal funds are currently available in the College of Medicine budget to fund the contracts in the amounts shown. The Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Vice President for Administration concur. I recommend approval. T h e s t u d e n t a d v i s o r y v o t e w a s : Aye, M r . C o n l o n , M r .
