FAU, Broward Health to Partner on Academic Medicine

FAU, Broward Health to Partner on Academic Medicine

Florida Atlantic University and Broward Health on Monday 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.”

Established in 1938, Broward Health is one of the 10 largest public health care systems in the United States. A nationally recognized health system in South Florida, Broward Health boasts two trauma centers and virtually every health specialty, offering compassionate, personalized care across its four hospitals and more than 50 health centers and physician practices. As a leader in advanced health care for more than 85 years, Broward Health has a robust graduate education program and international services.

“FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine is a medical school of the community and for the community, said Julie Pilitsis, M.D., Ph.D., dean and vice president for medical affairs, FAU Schmidt College of Medicine.

“We are very excited to join forces with our partners at Broward Health to put academic medicine at the forefront of our community. With an emphasis on teamwork and collaboration, together with our partners, we will address the needs of our community and enhance our workforce in health-related fields.”

The Schmidt College of Medicine has been independent since 2011, and prides itself on training doctors for the community. Together with the FAU Health Network – including all 10 colleges at FAU – the medical school works to ensure the workforce of tomorrow and cutting-edge technology and innovation. 

FAU’s Schmidt College of Medicine has already made valuable contributions to the physician workforce, which has dynamically impacted and diversified the care of its communities. An average of 50 percent of the medical school’s graduated medical residents and fellows stay on to practice in Florida.  

Florida is expected to be short nearly 18,000 physicians by the year 2035. Only 13.1 percent of physicians in Florida are 39 years old or younger, whereas 38.4 percent are 60 and older. Thus, the workforce shortage will likely be exacerbated by a high retirement rate and low incoming rate of new physicians.

God's Tenth Avatar: Latest Incarnation of God on Earth to Weed Out Evil and Protect Virtuous

Lord Krishna, assured that in every Mega Age (Yug) He would take the avatar Incarnation) on Earth to annihilate the evil, punish the guilty, to protect the righteous and establish Dharma. In other words, in every age, He would set right the disorder and establish order. This age is known as 'Kalyug' (dark age). In 21st Century, the disorder is at its peak. It is high time the Lord take Kalki avatar as assured by Him and restore order. ('Kalki' avatar is the tenth and the last avatar when God would visit on a horse with a sword on hand). Accordingly God comes to the Earth for doing His duty. But what is the result? This story depicts in a humorous way the problems God Himself will face should he come to Earth. This story is fully a political satire and not to hurt the religious sentiments of people belonging to any religion whatsoever.

The Story:

The greatest scandal of the twentieth century! A sum of whopping billions of rupees was swindled in a poor country on Earth. Hence, one may guess the toil of millions of poor labourers and tax payers behind that wealth. The loot extended from mining beneath the Earth, to scandals in purchase of aircraft and weapons used on the surface of Earth. There are several stories depicting life in Three Worlds, one on the surface, one beneath the Earth and the other on the sky. It seems our corrupt people realised all the three worlds by extending their corrupt practices in all the three.

The author of this mega scandal was Ramsingh, one of the most powerful politician of the country. Though he was never in election game nor held any post, each elected Government would have his influence on it because the candidates depended on the billions he spent for their winning the elections. The same may be told about industries, trade and commerce and of course film production. Only the actors and actresses who have his recognition could be the successful performers in filmdom.

Normally, before retiring to bed he used to offer prayers to the Almighty. That day also, he was offering his prayers. "Oh God! I have to thank you for enabling me to earn this much wealth. Nobody on Earth can surpass my wealth'.
He could have stopped with this observation. But his next statement was very much provocative. "Oh God! Now I am richer than you. Even you cannot surpass me".

That moment God decided to interfere. "Why can't I?" He asked.

Ramsingh was taken aback. He took the revolver kept under the pillow and asked "Who is speaking? Come to the front, otherwise I will shoot you".

"No, No don't shoot me" God pretended as if he was afraid.

"Then come before me. I want to see you"

Next moment God, whom he was praying daily, appeared before him.

"Pooh! Are you God? Our film heroes are better looking than you" Ramsingh remarked.

"Is it, Are your film heroes more handsome than me?" God asked.

"Yes, yesterday I saw a film in which Lord Krishna was so handsome that people worshipped him in the hall itself. They won't recognise you as God."

For a moment, God had some calculations mentally, then he told, "But he is mortal and will die at any time, whereas I am immortal."

"So what? Let him live for only thirty years. He has enjoyed everything on Earth. Do you know that he has dozen wives, all so beautiful? Your Heavenly ladies are no comparison to those ladies," Ramsingh replied.

"Okay, if you think that having beautiful girls is the Bliss, I won't argue."

"It is alright, tell me the purpose of your visit"

"I have come here to annihilate you," God said seriously.

"What? Are you kidding me?" Ramsingh took it as a joke and laughed.

"Yes, so far I took nine avatars and established order. This is my tenth and last. This time, I wish to annihilate one by one and I have chosen you as the first to be eliminated".

"Why me? There are so many giants worse than me." He quipped.

"Financially speaking, there are several giants worse than you. But you have committed other offense like murders, rape in abundance. The worst of them was you poisoned your friend to usurp power and after his death you placed your own henchmen in various posts and you have you have deceived billions of people. Be ready to die". The avatar raised hands to get his weapon (the revolving wheel on his hand.)

For a moment Ramsingh was taken aback. But he was able to recover within seconds and asked, "Oh God, please be patient. Please allow me to ask some questions"

"Okay, you proceed"

"My most respectful God Narayana, had you wanted to punish me you could have done it without showing your presence. But you are giving your Darshan to me which is available only for one in a billion. That shows that I have done some good deeds also. Isn't it?"

"It is not because of the good deeds done by you, but by your forefathers including your parents. They were feeding thousands of poor, they opened several schools for free learning and constructed several free mansions. They dug hundreds of wells for obtaining pure water. The proceeds of their good deeds ended today. From now onwards only effects of your sins will reach your descendants"

"Oh, God! Every day I used to pray you without fail. One more thing, I used to give a share to you at twenty percent of what all I earned in black"

God was astonished. "What?"

"Yes, I am not bluffing. You yourself verify my accounts. If I get rupees ten, I will give you rupees two. Likewise, if I get one hundred million, I shall deposit scrupulously twenty millions into your temple hundi"(collection box)

"Is it..?"

"Don't you know that the sanctum in the new temple constructed for you was financed totally by me. I spent nearly a billion rupee for that temple out of the profit I earned through the above transaction which people prefer to call as mega scandal.

God was speechless for a moment.

Ramsingh realised that he was going in the right direction. By this time, he had gathered enough courage to bargain.

"Okay God, let us talk business. Don't kill me. Allow me to give you a share of half of what all I earn. That is fifty-fifty. I will sincerely put 50% of what all I earn into your temple collection box. Are you happy?"

Before his completing the statement God vanished.

"Oh God, Maha Vishnu, Narayana" he shouted.
.
"Oh dear, why are you shouting?" his wife who rushed to his bed room shook him to raise from the sleep.

'Dear, do you know that I was talking with God?"

"Oh it is good, what were you talking with him?" she asked sarcastically.

"Ha, Ha, he wanted to kill me" he was laughing.

"Then what did you do?"

"I offered him fifty percent of my earning, He ran away fearing that he also would become corrupt"

He was having a hearty laugh over the dream he had.

Suddenly there was a great noise.

"Oh what is that?"

The Earth started shaking and the ground below him was divided into two.
Ramsingh, his family, all wealth fell into thousands of fathoms deep.
Next day a telecast from far away country stated:

"Due to a massive earth quake in the poor country, an entire city was plunged into the deep Earth. Thousands of men, women and children were buried. Buildings including huge structures like Temples were buried. Please wait for the complete report"

God has his own way for punishing the sinners.
