Once we receive your request, we will begin arranging your job shadowing experience.

Important: During high-demand periods, there may be delays in processing your request due to the volume of applications.

Clinical experiences, surgical job shadowing and observation

Please note that these opportunities are strictly observational and do not involve direct patient care or hands-on involvement. Hands-on clinical experiences are only available to students enrolled in programs with approved, affiliated educational institutions. 

Additionally, as a small rural hospital, we are unable to accommodate international medical students at this time.
