RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-153-9 with San Francisco State University, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in County’s Public Health Division for Contractor’s nursing students, for the period from March 1, 2013 through February 29, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Contractor’s 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On May 18, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #22-153-8 with San Francisco State University, for the period from March 1, 2010 through February 28, 2013, for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-153-9 will allow San Francisco State University students supervised fieldwork instruction experience, in County’s Public Health Division, through February 29, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

NOT APPLICABLE
