A: Affiliation agreements for each site are required for programs in the health professions where students perform patient care duties as part of their training. These agreements typically address issues such as supervisory responsibilities, professional liability insurance for the students, and indemnification requirements. Other programs outside the health professions are not required to have written agreements, but may be asked to sign one by the internship site or may find it useful to establish an affiliation agreement with sites that are closely connected to the University's program. All affiliation agreements must be signed by an appropriate central University officer, or by Dr. Roby Thompson for agreements in the Academic Health Center. A model agreement can be obtained by calling Barbara Shiels at 612-624-4100.
