Job Shadowing
At Ochsner Health, our job shadowing program allows people an opportunity to shadow a physician, advanced practice provider or other healthcare professional for no more than five days in a year.
Applicants are encouraged to have a pre-approved mentor to shadow. We are currently unable to guarantee placements without a pre-approved mentor.
Shadowing days are usually a half day and cannot exceed eight hours in a day. If you would like to have a more extended experience (greater than five days), we encourage you to apply for the volunteer program.
Students interested in learning more about a specific department and gaining knowledge about job roles and work environments are encouraged to apply for a job shadow experience.
*High school students must be at least 16 years old to participate in the shadowing program. Parent/legal guardian permission is required. To request a parent/guardian packet, please email volunteerservices@ochsner.org
If you have any questions, please email us at volunteerservices@ochsner.org.
