Greenville Health System (GHS) Health Sciences Center establishes partnerships with academic partners whose programs transform health care and contribute to the health care and workforce needs of the communities we serve.
Our students receive clinical training and education from GHS Health Sciences Center that supports their home institution’s overall curriculum and prepares them for their future career. Three levels of partnership have been developed:
Primary Partners
Primary partners work with GHS Health Sciences Center at the board level to create joint institutional initiatives through a Joint Board Liaison Committee. The partnership requires a foundational agreement with legal review and senior leadership participation. Strategic in nature, these partnerships address planning, resource allocation, the sharing of clinical and academic expertise, facilities and brand identity.
