RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-667-3 with University of Southern California, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in the Health Services Department for Contractor’s physical therapist students for the period from September 1, 2013 through August 31, 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 September 14, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #22-667-2 with University of Southern California, for the period from September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2013 for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-667-3 will allow University of Southern California students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, through August 31, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the students will not receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.
