RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute Contract #22-610-7 for Unpaid Student Training with Sonoma State University, to provide supervised field instruction to nursing students in the County’s Public Health Division for the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None, this is a non-financial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Sonoma State University 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 Health Services Department can provide the requisite field education, while at the same time, benefiting from the students’ services to patients.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On March 11, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #22-610-6 with Sonoma State University for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services, for the period from March 1, 2014 through June 30, 2016.

Approval of Contract #22-610-7 for Unpaid Student Training will allow Sonoma State University students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience in the County’s Public Health Division through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the students will not receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience in the County’s Public Health Division.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
