Observers
Required vaccinations are in the "Signature Forms" link below (See the New Volunteer, Intern, and Observer Health Screening form)
Observers are defined as those enrolled in a pre-medical higher education program that are 18+ years of age, but not yet to the level of patient care. An observer will shadow a Covenant Health medical professional with no hands-on learning and should never at any time participate in care delivered to the patient. This process is not offered for those completing the credentialing process.
Exceptions:
-
Students 16+ years of age may be considered when providing a letter of recommendation by a school official on your school's letterhead.
-
Visiting Physicians, Allied Health, and Nursing will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
