RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-12 with University of the Pacific, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers to physical therapy and speech therapy students, for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide University of the Pacific 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’s Health Services Department has been contracting with University of the Pacific since September 1, 1990.

On December 17, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-11 with University of the Pacific for the provision of clinical field experience and instruction to physical therapy and speech therapy students from the County’s Health Services Department, for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-209-12 will allow University of the Pacific students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction and experience at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers, through December 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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