RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-9 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 (CCRMC) and Health Centers to physical therapy doctorate students, for the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide University of the Pacific for its Department of 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, benefiting from the students’ services to patients.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 12, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-209-8 with University of the Pacific, for the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017 for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-9, will allow University of the Pacific Physical Therapy doctorate students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience, at CCRMC through December 31, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the students will not receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience at CCRMC and Health Centers.
