Case study: Rady Children’s Hospital hires six FTEs following ASD internship
As part of EDC’s Advancing San Diego (ASD) program, Rady Children’s Hospital hosted six paid medical assistant interns from industry-designated Preferred Providers of talent. Given their local training and expertise, the hospital later hired all six on full-time, opening a door of social mobility for underrepresented talent in essential roles.
