Observation & Shadowing

Our Observation Program provides a chance to observe healthcare professionals and see how things work in a hospital in many areas from clinical to non-clinical.

Shadow Physicians or Providers

United Regional is pleased to offer avid learners the opportunity to shadow our Physicians during work rounds to enhance their learning and exposure to the practice of medicine. This is a hands-off shadowing experience. Learners will have the opportunity to observe physician’s interaction with patients (with the patient’s permission), engaging in thoughtful discussion of clinical cases, reviewing medical literature, enhancing clinical knowledge, and experiencing teamwork involved in care for our patients with opportunities of scholarly activities.

Additional training is required for those who are permitted to observe in the operating room.
Our clinical departments do not offer observation or shadowing opportunities during the college semester, as we have many nursing students engaged in clinical rotations during that time. Observation and shadow requests will be accepted during the breaks (Christmas, Spring, Summer, etc.).
This program is not related to clinical rounds or internships. Please direct any requests that you have for these services to the Clinical Education department at 940-764-7913.
