RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-8 with University of the Pacific for its Department of Physical Therapy, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers to physical therapy doctorate students, from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None; this is an unpaid student training agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the students will not receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide University of the Pacific physical therapy doctorate 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.

On December 11, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-7 with University of the Pacific for its Department of Physical Therapy, for the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-8 will allow supervised fieldwork instruction experience for University of the Pacific physical therapy doctorate students, at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers through December 31, 2017.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
