FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a non-financial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide EKG medical assistant externship and phlebotomist students at Lifesavers Education Inc. (dba Health Career College), 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Health Services Department can provide the requisite field education, while at the same time, benefiting from the students’ services to patients. Lifesavers Education Inc. (dba Health Career College) and the CCRMC and Health Centers have been providing these unpaid student training services since 2006.

On July 24, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-575-4 with Lifesavers Education Inc. (dba Health Career College), to provide supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services for the period from June 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #26-575-5 will allow Lifesavers Education Inc. (dba Health Career College), students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience, at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers through June 30, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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