Learning & Performance Shadowing Application
Learning & Performance Shadowing Application
Thank you for your interest in shadowing at Connecticut Children’s!
Anyone looking to do a job shadow or observation is responsible for locating someone within the organization to shadow (this person is called a sponsor).
The best way to do this is to explore the various units/departments. Contact the specialty that most closely matches your area of interest to receive approval for a visit. Please keep in mind, the visits are at the discretion of the units/department and available staff. There is no guarantee that a manager/staff member will be able to accommodate your request.
In order to shadow at the organization, please review the documents below for an overview of the CT Children's shadowing process and the information you must submit prior to start.
We will need to know the date(s) and location where you will be shadowing. Each department and role have a different allowance for the duration of a shadow experience. Most shadows last for 4-8 hours, but some can go up to 7 days, consecutively or non-consecutively. This will be determined by the department leader.
Please note: while CT Children's strongly encourages all learners to be vaccinated against COVID-19, we are not currently requiring proof of this vaccination prior to shadowing.
Please note: CT Children's requires proof of influenza vaccination between the months of October and March.
Once we have all of the above information, we will confirm you are set to begin your shadowing experience.
We look forward to having you with us in the near future! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
