Student Shadowing Program
Are you interested in pursuing a career in healthcare?
The Student Shadowing Program at CMU Health offers a variety of healthcare settings for students to shadow in Saginaw and gain insight into what it would be like to pursue a career within the healthcare industry.
We have opportunities for students to shadow our providers in:
- Emergency Department
- Family Medicine
- Hospital Medicine
- Pediatrics
- Psychiatry
- Podiatry
- Surgery
- And many more!
Job shadow experience
You will follow one of our physicians, podiatrists, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants in the Saginaw area as they go about their typical workday to see how your life might look in that profession. You can be in the clinic, the hospital on the floors, the emergency department, or surgery in some cases. The patients will be asked before the student is involved, but the student will have no hands-on care with the patients. Each student can shadow up to three days total in the program each semester, with one or more providers during this time.
Job shadow requirements
- High school, college, or preprofessional student
- At least 16 years of age or a high school junior or senior
- Must review and agree to abide by HIPAA guidelines
- Must submit a completed application 30 days prior to the requested date
