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.

**OBSERVER MUST PROCURE THEIR OWN SUPERVISOR**

Follow the instructions below to complete the onboarding process: All information should be submitted a minimum of 2 weeks prior to observer start date for processing.
