RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #72-078-1 with San Diego State University Foundation for its Women, Infant and Children Dietitian Internship Program, a non-profit corporation, to provide supervised field instruction in County’s Public Health Division to dietitian students, for the period from February 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide San Diego State University Foundation for its Women, Infant and Children Dietitian (WIC) Internship Program, dietitian 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 June 14, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #72-078 with San Diego State University Foundation for its Women, Infant and Children Dietitian (WIC) Internship Program for the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #72-078-1 will allow San Diego State University Foundation for its WIC Dietetic Internship Program dietitian students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services for the period from February 1, 2017 through December 31, 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.
