FAU, Broward Health

Announce Partnership for

Academic Medicine

Florida Atlantic University and Broward Health have
announced a partnership agreement that will provide
academic medicine to Broward County and opportunities to
collaborate in the areas of education, clinical training and
practice, health services administration and research.
The groundbreaking partnership was announced
by Shane Strum, president and CEO of Broward
Health, during its State of the System address
recognizing the system’s 85th anniversary.
As part of the collaboration, FAU and Broward Health plan to
explore opportunities for joint research and scholarship at the
student and faculty level, community engagement, fundraising
opportunities, and integrating academic medicine, first
within the setting of the system’s safety-net hospital. Safety-net
practices are defined by the Institute of Medicine as “those
providers that organize and deliver a significant level of health
care and other needed services to uninsured, Medicaid and
other vulnerable patients.”

“Florida Atlantic University and Broward Health share a
common vision and purpose of providing high-quality and
compassionate medical care, stellar education, and lifesaving
research close to home,” said Brad Levine, chair, FAU Board
of Trustees. “This collaboration makes us part of a vital
network in Broward County that connects us with a partner
that will enable us to care for our community.”

Students in health sciences enrolled at FAU will have access to
physicians and clinical facilities within Broward Health thanks
to this agreement.
“We welcome opportunities for collaboration to expand our
health care network, provide lifesaving medical services,
and importantly, train the next generation of physicians who
will serve our communities with compassion, integrity and
highly skilled care,” said Strum.“ As the first statutory teaching
hospital in Broward County, partnerships like this one ensure
we continue to build the skilled physician workforce our
region needs while meeting the health care needs of our
communities today.”
