JOB SHADOW INFORMATION
The Job Shadow Program is an observation only experience in a select department within Premier Health based on
availability. The participant will have an opportunity to observe and interact with a healthcare worker as they go about their
daily activities. Hands-on patient care isn’t part of the job shadow experience and will not be permitted. The purpose of the
job shadow experience is to foster an awareness of the skills required for a specific career and to experience healthcare
culture. This program was developed to assist college students meet observation experience requirements to gain
admittance into an academic program.
Note that the application process includes reviewing a separate document, “Premier Health: Job Shadow Rotation
Brochure” and Content Review. You will also need to complete the Content Review document. Failure to properly
complete the forms, return required documentation on time, and have a parent’s signature if under 18 years of
age, will result in a delay in processing your application.
GUIDELINES FOR JOB SHADOW
