SYLMAR : Physician Exchange Program Approved
A public-private contract to allow postgraduate physicians from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to work at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center was approved unanimously Tuesday by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
The program will enable the physicians to receive training not available at Cedars-Sinai, according to the county Department of Health Services, while providing Olive View-UCLA Medical Center in Sylmar with three additional doctors at a cost to the county of $9,000 a month.
The agreement also allows Olive View-UCLA to set up an exchange program to allow its physicians-in-training to work at Cedars-Sinai, although county health officials said there are no plans to do so.
County health officials said money to pay the stipends and salaries of the postgraduate physicians is available in the department’s 1991-92 budget.
