RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-11 with University of the Pacific, for its Departments of Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers to physical therapy and speech therapy doctorate students for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide University of the Pacific for its Department of Physical Therapy and Speech 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 January 9, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-209-9 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #26-209-10) with University of the Pacific, for the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-11, will allow University of the Pacific Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy doctorate students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience, at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers through December 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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