RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-473-6 with Pacific Union College, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in the County’s Public Health Division to nursing students for the period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No Fiscal Impact

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Pacific Union College nursing students with the opportunity to integrate academic knowledge with applied skills at progressively higher levels of performance and responsibility. Supervised fieldwork experience for students is considered to be an integral part of both educational and professional preparation. The Health Services Department can provide the requisite field education, while at the same time, benefitting from the students’ services to patients.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-473-6 will allow Pacific Union College students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services Department, through December 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the students will not receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience at County’s Public Health Division.
