RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-964-3 with San Jose State University, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in the County’s Public Health Division to occupational therapy students, for the period from September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide occupational therapy students from San Jose State University 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, benefit from the students’ services to patients.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-964-3, will allow San Jose State University students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience, in the County’s Public Health Division, through August 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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