RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #26-209-13 with University of the Pacific for its Department of Physical Therapy, an educational institution, effective December 31, 2022, to amend Contract #26-209-12, to include occupational therapy students to receive field instruction experience at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers with no change in the original term of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide University of the Pacific 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. The County’s Health Services Department has been contracting with University of the Pacific since September 1, 1990.

On April 26, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-209-12 with University of the Pacific for its Department of Physical Therapy for the provision of supervised field instruction experience for physical and speech therapy students at Contra Costa Health Services, for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-209-13 will allow the addition of occupational therapy students to receive field instruction at CCRMC and Health Centers through December 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the contractor’s students of occupational therapy will not receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers.
