BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A key component of Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s (ARMC) mission is to provide education to students in a variety of disciplines. ARMC has a number of agreements with universities, colleges, junior colleges, and technical and trade schools to provide on-site clinical training for students. This clinical training is necessary for students to obtain their degrees, licenses, and/or certifications.
The Agreement with CBU will enable its Master in Social Work students to obtain clinical training through in-person clinical rotations at ARMC. The volume and patient mix at ARMC will provide a comprehensive educational opportunity to the students from CBU. The clinical training will ensure students receive specialty clinical experience, and gain vital skills needed in developing a competent workforce.
ARMC recommends approval of the Agreement, as it provides for the safety, health, and social service needs of County residents by ensuring the delivery of specialized medical care to ARMC patients, as well as increasing the future pool of healthcare specialists.
