RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #26-575-4, the Unpaid Student Training Agreement with Health Career College, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers to electrocardiogram (EKG), medical assisting externship and phlebotomy students, for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a non-financial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Health Career College 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 July 21, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-575-3 with Health Career College for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018 for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-575-4 will allow Health Career College EKG, medical assisting externship and phlebotomy students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience, at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers through June 30, 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 Health Centers.
