RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-528-8 with Contra Costa Community College District, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in County’s Public Health Division for nursing students, for the period from March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Contra Costa Community College District nursing 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.

On February 26, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #22-528-7 with Contra Costa Community College District for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services, for the period from March 1, 2013 through February 29, 2016.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-528-8 will allow Contra Costa Community College District students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience, in County’s Public Health Division, through February 28, 2019.

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.
