The affiliation agreement templates are standardized resources for BC health authorities, health organizations, and post-secondary institutions. They are designed to be as straightforward and clear as possible, while still addressing key issues. An Education Affiliation Agreement is required for all practice education placements.
An affiliation agreement:
- Defines the roles and responsibilities of the health authority and education institution in providing practice education
- Addresses the risks in the relationship for organizations as well as their employees, patients, faculty, and students
The education affiliation agreement templates were informed by both health and education sectors with the expertise of legal, risk management, contract management, education, and practice representatives.
Each health authority and post-secondary education institution assigns authority to specific individuals for negotiating new agreements, renewing agreements, and approving final agreements.
When Students or Institution Staff are responsible for arranging their own medical/accident insurance, append the
Waiver to the above Non-UCIPP Education Affiliation Agreement Template.
