AFFILIATION AGREEMENT WITH SCOTTSDALE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISCTRICT FOR DIETETIC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Approve the Affiliation Agreement (AA) with Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) and Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH) to provide clinical nutrition training experience for graduate students in the dietetic internship program. The agreement is non-financial, and the term is to be July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2035. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary this Agreement shall continue until all those interns participating in the dietetic internship program at the time of written notice of the termination of the Agreement have completed their training experience. MCDPH and SUSD have had an affiliation since March 2015. As a part of its established accredited dietetic internship program, MCDPH seeks to provide its dietetic interns with a broad and diverse practicum experience. The new Agreement with SUSD will allow dietetic interns to continue to receive approved practicum experience in clinical nutrition. Supervised by MCDPH registered dietitians at SUSD facilities, interns will continue to be responsible for various programmatic actives. (C-86-25-068-X-00)
