Request to Shadow a University of Utah Health Workforce Member

Request to Shadow a University of Utah Health Workforce Member

This experience allows approved individuals to observe a University of Utah Health workforce member for a maximum of 12 hours per department per year. Before filling out this form, applicants must communicate with the department they intend to shadow and establish their sponsor (employee to be shadowed or someone coordinating on their behalf).

If you do not know a sponsor or department that has agreed to host you, we cannot facilitate pairing you with someone.

Please note: Shadowing does not meet the requirements for patient exposure or practicum experiences. Patient exposure is defined as direct interaction with patients and hands-on involvement. As a shadower, you will be strictly limited to observing patient care and will not participate in patient care in any other way.

If you are currently attending a program where clinical training hours are required for graduation, please do NOT submit this form. For further assistance, e-mail studentplacement@hsc.utah.edu.
