A nonprofit health care organization on the South Coast which acts like an HMO for Medi-Cal beneficiaries is teaming up with a local university to help train nursing students.
The Gold Coast Health Plan is working with Cal State Channel Islands to give them some hands-on experience.
The students will work with a team of Gold Coast nurses to learn about the managed care process. The agreement calls for a five year pilot program based at the plan’s Camarillo office.
