Job Shadows and Clinical Rotations

Cheshire Medical Center is proud to host clinical rotations and job shadow experiences to help people interested in healthcare careers discover their interests and passions.

Job shadowing

Job shadows are typically one-to-two day experiences in which an observer “shadows” someone in the healthcare field to get a sense of how their job works. Observers may be of any level of experience, from high school and college students to experienced practitioners. However, observers must be at least 16 years-old and observers under 18 years-old must have parent or guardian permission to participate in a job shadow.

Job shadowing opportunities at Cheshire are dependent on department capacity. If you are interested in current job shadow opportunities at Cheshire, please contact shadowing@cheshire-med.com. When requesting a job shadow or observation, specify which department(s) or unit(s) you are interested in observing and which days of the week and times of day you are available to observe. This mailbox is checked weekly; please submit shadowing requests at least two weeks in advance of your preferred start date.
