Thank you for your interest in our job shadowing program! Whether you’re a high school student (age 16 and above), college student, or an individual exploring a second career, we welcome your interest in exploring a health care career.

Our job shadowing program is designed to provide you the opportunity to:

  • Observe the daily routines of our extraordinary professionals as they perform their jobs
  • Explore health care career options
  • Increase awareness of the skill sets required
  • Experience our health care culture

You will be paired with a health care professional to observe and interact with them as they conduct their daily work. You will not have an opportunity to have hands-on patient care, just observe and ask questions. A job shadow experience is two to four hours in length. You may have a maximum of three job shadow experiences, each in three different areas, in one year.
