RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Unpaid Student Training Agreement #72-191 with Western Governors University, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in the County’s Health Services Department’s Public Health Division to nursing program intern students, for the period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement and there are no fiscal impacts to providing supervised fieldwork experience to this university's nursing students.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Western Governors University nursing program intern 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.

Under Contract #72-191, the contractor will provide supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services, for the period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, nursing program intern students will not receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience in the County’s Public Health Division.
