Schiffert Health Center Student Observation Program

The Schiffert Health Center Student Observation Program provides an opportunity for students to obtain shadowing hours with our on-campus clinicians and nurses. Students will gain an insight of the clinical operation of a healthcare setting and will gain a sense of the value of teamwork. Students will be in the generalized medicine clinic giving an opportunity to observe a variety of medical issues, care, and treatment.

Students accepted into the program will be able to observe up to 4 hours per week with the opportunity to shadow different providers. This is a shadowing and learning experience, not a paid position or internship. The observation program will run for the entirety of the semester.

For questions or additional information please contact Jocelyn Hotter at jihotter@vt.edu.

The Fall 2024 application is OPEN. The deadline to submit is Sunday, August 11th, 2024. Applications will be reviewed the week of August 12th and students will be notified of their status by August 16th.
