MU Health Care offers a job shadow program for individuals interested in learning about the various career opportunities we offer.
Job shadowing is a hands-off experience that allows you to follow and closely observe our employees performing their day-to-day duties.
If you need clinical hours as part of your graduation requirement, we offer those through a separate program. Please visit our Student Vetting page instead.
MU Health Care’s Job Shadow Program has two different types of opportunities:
This program limits shadowing to 16 hours per year. The hours reset January 1 of each year. To participate, candidates must meet the following requirements:
