RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-608-5 with Touro University California, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers for medical residency students, for the period from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Touro University California residency 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. The County has been contracting with Touro University California for these mutually beneficial services since 2007.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-608-5 with Touro University California will allow their students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers through March 31, 2026.

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.
