RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-141-12 with Peralta Community College District on behalf of its Merritt College, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers to ultrasound students for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a non-financial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Peralta Community College District on behalf of its Merritt College radiology 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 9, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-141-11 with Peralta Community College District for the provision of clinical field experience and instruction from County’s Health Services Department for the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-141-12 will allow Peralta Community College District on behalf of its Merritt College students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction and experience at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, through December 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the students will not receive clinical field experience and instruction at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers.
