chilen_railsconf_internships.pdf

These are the slides from my talk at RailsConf 2016! Since they are mostly just big words in the middle of the slide, I've published two blog posts with much of their content:

http://tech.omadahealth.com/why-internships/
http://tech.omadahealth.com/how-to-run-an-internship-program/

They are probably more helpful than the slides!
