RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-667-4 with the University of Southern California, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in the County’s Public Health Division to physical and occupational therapist students, for the period from September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide University of Southern California, physical and occupational therapist 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, benefitting from the students’ services to patients.

On February 4, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #22-667-3 with University of Southern California for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services, for the period from September 1, 2013 through August 31, 2016.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-667-4, will allow University of Southern California, physical and occupational therapist students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience, in County’s Public Health Division, through August 31, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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