Explores the history and the extent of job training initiatives for health care workers and lays out the political and economic significance of these programs beyond the obvious goal of career advancement.

Ducey argues that training and education cannot be a panacea for restructuring-whether in the health care sector or the economy as a whole. From publisher description.
