a leadership role in reshaping the education of future health care professionals to help meet the complex scope of
the nation’s health care delivery system. It is the intent of VA to maintain its long-standing practice of effective
affiliations with educational institutions for the purposes of contributing to continued excellence in VA patient
care and conducting joint academic programs that address health manpower needs throughout VA and the nation.
An affiliation agreement promotes a common standard for patient care, resident and student education,
research, and staff appointments. The parties to the affiliation agreement also seek to avoid duplication of
academic assets. The parties enter into this affiliation in a spirit of mutual benefit to be achieved through an
equitable contribution of resources. The affiliation agreement is crucial to the partnership because it forms the
philosophical and, in some cases, the legal basis for numerous specific agreements that may be executed between
components of the affiliate and VA.
In entering into any agreements, VA and the affiliate have a responsibility to comply with federal laws and
VA policies concerning conflicts of interest. The existence of an affiliation agreement does not guarantee that VA
and the affiliate will enter into additional agreements. However, some institutions may have other agreements
including contracts, memoranda of understanding, or other written agreements.
TERMS OF AGREEMENT
Ultimate responsibility for the control and operation of VA facilities and programs rests with VA. Ultimate
responsibility for academic education rests with the signatory institutions. Through this agreement, a partnership
is created to enable enhanced patient care, education, and research.
The partner institutions comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Public Law 104-91, and the Age
Discrimination Act of 1975, and all related regulations, and assures that they do not, and will not, discriminate
against any person on the basis of race, color, sex, disability, or age under any program or activity receiving
federal financial assistance.
Nothing in this agreement is intended to be contrary to state or federal laws. In the event of conflict between
terms of this agreement and any applicable state or federal law, that state or federal law will supersede the terms
of this agreement. In the event of conflict between state and federal law, federal law will govern.
When providing professional services covered by this agreement, protection of faculty members (except those
providing services to VA under a contract) and trainees of the affiliated institution from personal liability while at
a VA health care facility will be that which is provided under the Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort
Compensation Act 28 U.S.C.2679 (b)-(d).
