SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
This agreement governs medical student rotations at Natividad. Medical students in their final years of training who are interested in pursuing family medicine residency do clinical rotations at sites where they may want to match for residency training. Having visiting students come for 2-4 weeks to do clinical rotations at our hospital is an excellent way for us to assess students’ clinical skills and preparation for residency, and to recruit students with a strong interest in caring for our particular community.

The Office of County Counsel has reviewed and approved this agreement as to form, and the Auditor-Controller has reviewed and approved as to payment provisions. The agreement has also been reviewed and approved by NMC’s Board of Trustees Executive Committee on April 11, 2025.
FINANCING:
There is no cost associated with this agreement.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
Our ability to host medical student rotations improves Natividad Family Medicine Residency's ability to recruit residents who are aligned with our mission to provide comprehensive care to the people of Monterey County, particularly the most marginalized patient populations.
