Volunteer: Medical Professional ShadowingConsidering a career in healthcare? Cayuga Health is the place to start. Our Shadowing program gives you an opportunity to explore a wide array of challenging and rewarding positions in the industry. We hope your experience will lead you to choose a career that matters in healthcare. Shadowing gives an individual interested in a particular career a chance to see what it is like to be in that field by allowing him/her an opportunity to "shadow" an employee in that line of work. A shadow accompanies an employee as the employee goes about his/her typical job duties. A shadow experience provides a flavor for the job and the environment, but the learning opportunity includes no direct contact with patients, guests, or staff, and is not hands-on in any manner. A shadow is accompanied by a paid staff member throughout the entire experience and does not complete any tasks on his/her own. In order to be considered for shadowing, you must have completed 40 hours of volunteering within our Volunteer Services Program. Exemptions are considered on a case-by-case basis. The shadowing experience is limited to 40 hours. All shadows must be at least 18 years of age at the start of the shadow experience. Program: Cayuga Medical Center Considering a career in healthcare?
