Approve Agreement between Cochise Health & Social Services and Cochise County Community College District for clinical practicum and/or internship/externship educational experiences to nursing and allied health students, effective August 1, 2023, through July 30, 2028.
Background:
Cochise College provides inclusive and accessible educational opportunities supporting social responsibility, community engagement, meaningful careers, and lifelong learning. The nursing and allied health programs at Cochise College offer a variety of degrees and certificates to enter a career in the healthcare field. Nursing and allied health students require clinical experience in a variety of healthcare settings.
CCHSS provides a safe learning environment and hands-on clinical experience for nursing and allied health students to meet the requirements associated with their degree or certificate. Our partnership with Cochise College has been in place for several years and has demonstrated success with internal recruiting and retention.
