RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #76-551-1 with Columbia University for its Physical Therapy program, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers to occupational therapy and physical therapy students for the period September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a non-financial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide occupational therapy and physical therapy students at Columbia 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, benefiting from the students’ services to patients.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 20, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #76-551 with Columbia University for the period September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2018 for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #76-551-1 will allow Columbia University occupational therapy and physical therapy students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience at CCRMC and Health Centers through August 31, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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