RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-206-8 with University of San Francisco, an educational institution, to provide supervised field instruction in County’s Public Health Division to nursing students, for the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agreement is to provide nursing students at University of San Francisco 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 October 25, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #22-206-7 with University of San Francisco for the provision of supervised fieldwork instruction experience with Health Services, for the period from November 1, 2011 through October 31, 2016.

Approval of Unpaid Student Training Agreement #22-206-8, will allow University of San Francisco nursing students to receive supervised fieldwork instruction experience in County’s Public Health Division, 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.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
