RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-608-4 with Touro University - California, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in County’s Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Clinics to pharmacy technician and pharmacy students, from April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Touro University - California pharmacy technician and pharmacy 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.

On March 12, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-608-3 with Touro University - California
for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services, for the period from April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2016.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-608-4 will allow Touro University - California students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience, at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers through March 31, 2021.

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.
