RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-473-8 with Pacific Union College, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers to nursing students for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Pacific Union College 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 County's Health Services Department (HSD) can provide the requisite field education, while at the same time, benefiting from the students’ services to patients. HSD has been contracting with Pacific Union College since September 1, 1994.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 12, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved contract #22-473-7 with Pacific Union College initially for the provision of clinical field experience and instruction from County’s Health Services Department for the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-473-8 will allow Pacific Union College students to continue to receive supervised fieldwork instruction and experience at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, through December 31, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the students will not receive clinical field experience and instruction at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers.
