MASTER AFFILIATION definition
MASTER AFFILIATION means a particular type of relationship between a hospital and School of Medicine. The various categories are described below:
(i) MAJOR PARTICIPATING SITE: A Review Committee-approved site to which all Residents in at least one program rotate for a required educational experience, and for which a master affiliation agreement must be in place. To be designated as a major participating site in a two-year program, all Residents must spend at least four months in a single required rotation or a combination of required rotations across both years of the program. In programs of three years or longer, all Residents must spend at least six months in a single required rotation or a combination of required rotations across all years of the program. The term “major participating site” does not apply to sites providing required rotations in one year programs.
