Student Observerships


As the situation with COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues to rapidly evolve, WakeMed Health and Hospitals is working diligently to monitor developments and implement guidelines to prevent the spread of infection. Our top priority is to keep patients, visitors, team members, and the community at large safe. At this time, all Student Observerships are suspended until further notice. We will keep you updated about the status of our student observerships program, and we look forward to welcoming you back to our hospitals in this important capacity as soon as possible.

At WakeMed Health and Hospitals, we support observational experiences for individuals interested in various opportunities including exposure to health careers and other non-clinical opportunities. Observations must be a requirement for graduation from an accredited school or be physician supervised. Please read the policy carefully to understand the shadowing procedure, participant's responsibilities, the mentor's responsibilities and general guidelines for a job shadow experience.
