The right prescription

Article Abstract:

The Los Angeles Trade Technical Community College and the California Medical Center are now reaping the benefits of the internship program they started in Feb. 1995. The hospital offers training in a wide range of vocational jobs such as air conditioning and refrigeration and the maintenance and repair of biomedical instruments. The internship program offers the hospital free labor while giving them a chance to assess the performance of future employees.
