BACKGROUND INFORMATION

This Affiliation Agreement with the Rialto Fire Department will allow Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) students to obtain necessary clinical training at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC), who as a result, will assist in the delivery of care to ARMC patients.  As a teaching hospital, ARMC has a number of agreements with institutions to provide onsite training for students. The onsite training is necessary for students to obtain hands-on experience in the delivery of healthcare services, which is generally required for their degrees, licenses, and/or certifications that will provide for safety, health, and social service needs of County residents.

 

The volume and diversity of ARMC patients provides a comprehensive educational opportunity to EMT students. The Affiliation Agreement ensures the students receive specialty onsite training and experience from ARMC and gain vital skills needed in developing a competent workforce. As a teaching hospital, ARMC expects to attract students to the county area, increasing the potential pool of future healthcare providers.

 

PROCUREMENT

Not applicable.
