All shadowers must provide proof of vaccination. Please bring your Covid Vaccination card with you, or you will not be able to shadow. Shadowers must follow CDC guidelines for healthcare facilities and will be required to wear an N95 mask. Masks and PPEs will be provided. Students must wear their own cloth or surgical mask into the facility.

Students must arrive for shadowing by 9 am for the morning session. You will not be able to shadow if it is past 9 am when you arrive.

In order to best serve all prospective students, please choose only one shadowing session per month.

The dress code is business casual or scrubs. No open-toed shoes or jeans are permitted. Socks are required. Long hair must be pulled back. Please do not wear strong smelling perfumes, colognes, lotions, etc. as these can cause headaches or allergic reactions for our patients. Please cancel and reschedule your shadowing appointment if you are exhibiting symptoms of illness such as sneezing, coughing, etc.
