74. AFFILIATION AGREEMENT WITH DEER VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 97 FOR THE DIETETIC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Approve the Affiliation Agreement (AA) with Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD) #97 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 from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030. The Agreement may be renewed for additional terms by the mutual consent of both parties. This Agreement may also be terminated by either party upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party. However, 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. As a part of its established accredited dietetic internship program, the MCDPH seeks to provide its dietetic interns with a broad and diverse practicum experience. This agreement with DVUSD will allow dietetic interns to continue to receive approved practicum experience in clinical nutrition. Supervised by DVUSD registered dietitians in DVUSD facilities, interns would continue to be responsible to Public Health. (C-86-25-074-X-00)
