STUDENT ROTATION TRAINING AGREEMENT 
 
 
This Off-Site preceptor Student Rotation Training Agreement (“Agreement”) is 
entered into by and between the Arizona Board of Regents, a body corporate acting for 
and on behalf of Arizona State University (“ASU”), and Maricopa County, by and for its 
Department of Public Health (“MCDPH”). This Agreement sets forth the terms of the 
rotation of Students from ASU to MCDPH for educational training and experience.  
 
1. Rotation Goals and Objectives 
 
A. The educational goals and objectives for any rotation will be provided by ASU to 
the applicable MCDPH preceptor prior to the start of the rotation. If these goals 
and objectives are acceptable to MCDPH, the MCDPH preceptor will sign a 
statement agreeing to meet the goals and objectives of the rotation and will return 
a copy to ASU.  
 
B. The Program Director of the applicable Training Program at ASU shall retain full 
control and responsibility for the overall education of the Students.  
 
2. Responsibilities of ASU for Rotations 
 
A. Use proper administrative procedures acceptable to MCDPH in planning for 
observation and practical experience.  
 
B. Provide for supervision and instruction as agreed upon by both parties. MCDPH 
agrees to allow ASU faculty the right to participate in selecting learning 
experiences for students participating under this Agreement 
 
C. Instruct Students and faculty participating in the program at MCDPH to adhere to 
existing rules and regulations of MCDPH.  
 
D. Require each Student participating in the program at MCDPH to meet the same 
health standards that are required of all employees at MCDPH. MCDPH may 
request upon reasonable notice a physical examination and/or laboratory or other 
diagnostic tests for any Student. The Student and ASU shall have the option to 
either agree to such physical examinations, labs, and tests or to withdraw the 
Student from MCDPH. MCDPH shall not be responsible for any cost or charges 
incurred for such physical examinations, labs, or tests.  
 
E. Require Students and ASU staff members to not release any material relative to 
practical experiences that has not been approved for release for publication by 
MCDPH, or that is confidential by law.

F. Instruct Student(s) that dress and grooming shall be appropriate for MCDPH and 
for health care workers. Students will comply with the MCDPH dress code.  
 
G. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, ASU agrees that the faculty 
observers and Students enrolled at MCDPH shall not be employees or agents of 
MCDPH or Maricopa County, and shall not be entitled to any defense or indemnity 
under Maricopa County’s Declaration of Trust for Maricopa County, Arizona, Self-
Insured Risk Trust Fund, benefits, conditions, terms or rights of MCDPH 
employees including workers’ compensation, medical or hospitalization insurance 
or benefits, pension, retirement or vacation pay, credit or other benefits or rights 
of MCDPH employees. MCDPH may, at its own election, decide to provide 
Students a stipend. MCDPH employees employed by ASU as faculty members 
on their own time (non-MCDPH pay status) will be subject to the same restrictions 
as stated herein.  
 
H. Provide liability insurance or self-insurance coverage for the negligent acts, errors 
and omissions of Faculty Members and Students covered under this Agreement 
in accordance with and subject to the provisions of A.R.S. Section 41-621 et seq.

Member reasonably identified, for any reason, as unacceptable by MCDPH.

or supplies, provided MCDPH provides evidence that such Damage was caused 
by Students or Faculty Members.

experiences, including planning with MCDPH staff to assign Students to specific

example, subcontracted MCDPH staff may serve as preceptors for participating 
Students and provide supervision for and evaluation of those Students on behalf

8. ASU Required Provisions 
 
A. Privacy, Educational Records. Student educational records are protected by the 
U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g (FERPA). 
MCDPH will not require any ASU Students or employees to waive any privacy 
rights (including under FERPA or the European Union’s General Data Protection 
Regulation (GDPR)) as a condition for receipt of any educational services, and 
any attempt to do so will be void. MCDPH will comply with FERPA and will not 
access or make any disclosures of Student educational records to third parties 
without prior notice to and consent from ASU or as otherwise provided by law. If 
this Agreement contains a scope of work or other provision that requires or 
permits MCDPH to access or release any Student records, then, for purposes of 
this Agreement only, ASU designates MCDPH as a “school official” for ASU under 
FERPA, as that term is used in FERPA and its implementing regulations. In 
addition, any access or disclosures of Student educational records made by 
MCDPH or any MCDPH Parties must comply with ASU’s definition of legitimate 
educational purpose in SSM 107-01: Release of Student Information. If MCDPH 
violates the terms of this section, MCDPH will immediately provide notice of the 
violation to ASU.  
 
B. Advertising, Publicity, Names and Marks. MCDPH will not do any of the following, 
without, in each case, ASU’s prior written consent: (i) use any names, service 
marks, trademarks, trade names, logos, or other identifying names, domain 
names, or identifying marks of ASU (“ASU Marks”) for any reason, including 
online, advertising, or promotional purposes; (ii) issue a press release or public 
statement regarding this Agreement; or (iii) represent or imply any ASU 
endorsement or support of any product or service in any public or private 
communication. Any permitted use of ASU Marks must comply with ASU’s 
requirements, including using the ® indication of a registered mark.  
 
C. Environment of Respect. ASU prohibits all forms of discrimination, harassment 
and 
retaliation. 
To

ASU’s 
policy

https://www.asu.edu/aad/manuals/acd/acd401.html. Title IX protects individuals 
from discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity operated 
by recipients of federal financial assistance. As required by Title IX, ASU does not 
discriminate on the basis of sex in the education programs or activities that we 
operate, including in admission and employment. Inquiries concerning the 
application of Title IX may be referred to the Title IX Coordinator or to the U.S. 
Department 
of 
Education, 
Assistant 
Secretary, 
or 
both.
