You can arrange an in-depth one-on-one experience shadowing a professional in your career area.   FIRST - you should check the admission criteria for your program to make sure you are following the proper procedure.

Some programs require shadowing prior to admission into the clinical phase. See the Admissions Criteria to see shadowing requirements (and specific instructions) for your program/s of interest since there may be specific instructions and forms.  You may also need to contact a specific person rather than the hospital as listed below.

Good article about shadowing from ExploreHealthCareers.org  (July 2012)

Remember to present a professional image when arranging and attending your shadowing day. They could be your future employers and co-workers!

To arrange shadowing contact the hospital/facility. This is not a complete list - just the result of a telephone survey updated annually. Information Revised May 8, 2013

FIRST - you should check the admission criteria for your program to make sure you are following the proper procedure.
