Shadow a Healthcare Professional

Capital AHEC provides shadowing opportunities for students truly interested in exploring the profession of healthcare.  Through this experience students will work with mentors in their interested area in order to learn more about their chosen career.  This day long activity gives students the chance to ask questions of their health professional about their career, participate in procedures, and live the daily life of a healthcare worker.

In order to match students career interests with healthcare professionals we ask students to rank their top three career choices on the application.  Please know that not all health careers are available and able to volunteer for shadowing however we do our best to match your wishes.  If you are unsure which career would best suit you or you are unsure about what some of the careers do check out HOT Jobs.

Submit a request for a shadowing opportunity near you.  Applications are accepted throughout the year for many different age groups.
