Job Shadowing
Our Program
Summit Healthcare has established a Job Shadow program to provide individuals with an interest in pursuing education and/or careers in healthcare.
JOB SHADOW EXPERIENCES ARE OBSERVATION ONLY. Participants in a Job Shadow experience cannot participate in any patient care or procedures. There is no compensation for Job Shadow experience participants. All Job Shadow experience participants must be with their Job Shadow Preceptor at all times.
Who Can Participate
The minimum age of an individual requesting a Job Shadow experience is 15 years old. If the requesting individual is under 18 years old, signed parental permission is required. A maximum of three Job Shadow experiences are allowed, with a maximum time length of 8 hours per experience; 4 hours if individual is less than 18 years old. Longer experiences will be considered on a case by case basis.
Job Shadow experiences may be approved or rescinded at the discretion of the Department Director/Manager in which the Job Shadow experience is to take/is taking place, by the Professional Development Department designee(s), or the Job Shadow Preceptor. Job Shadow experiences may be limited during Flu Season; approximately October through April of each year.
