RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-052-9 with Holy Names University, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in County’s Public Health Division and Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers to nursing students from November 1, 2017 through October 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide Holy Names 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, benefitting from the students’ services to patients.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 29, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #22-052-8 with Holy Names University for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience for its nursing students with Health Services Department for the period from November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2017.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-052-9 will allow Holy Names University students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience, in County’s Public Health Division and Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, through October 31, 2020.

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 and Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.
