Extended Job Shadow

Exploring Opportunities in HealthCare

Welcome Clinical Students!

Job Shadowing is a very effective way to learn more about health care and explore health care career options. A clinical job shadow is a non-hands on opportunity to learn from a professional for longer than an 8 hour period of time. Occasionally colleges will require additional hours of job shadowing as a prerequisite to apply for their programs. Some examples may be Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physician Assistant. Requirements vary by school. Those students requesting more than 8 hours will require additional health work and should use the Clinical Job Shadow form.

In order to help ease the process of Job Shadow possibilities exploration, FVHCA has put together some tools and guidelines. We hope you'll find the following of great benefit, and we wish you all the best in your exploration of the great and rewarding field of health care!

!If you are unable to attend your Job Shadow please contact the Human Resource/Training Department representative as soon as possible. If you “no call, no show” do not expect to reschedule your job shadow.

 

If you're still unsure about the process talk to a counselor at your school or contact the facility's job shadow coordinator. If you have general questions about job shadows or which facility would best suit your needs, Jill Niemczyk is happy to help. In addition to email, she can be contacted via phone at (920) 652-0238.
