Healthcare Observations

Observation is an opportunity for learning acquired by closely observing staff, allied health professionals, and other clinicians in their patient care duties. Observers will gain exposure to and learn about situations and working conditions within the healthcare field.

Per our policy, we are unable to provide direct, hands-on learning during an observation experience; this opportunity will involve participation in the form of observational-based learning only. To meet specific criteria for a class, we understand that students participating in an observation for educational purposes may be required to complete a certain number of observation hours in a set amount of time. The duration of the observation must be agreed upon by both parties (the observer and the Aultman team member) and cannot exceed your annual valid TB test. Interested individuals must submit an application and meet all requirements before observing with the Aultman team member. Program coordinators for high school groups must work with the Student Experiences Specialist to set up an experience.

High school juniors and seniors – must be at least 16 years old
- *Aultman Alliance requires individuals to be 18 years of age
Currently enrolled college students
Individuals interested in a second career

1. Review the following:

2. Complete an Observation Application.

For this application, you will need to complete:

TB Documentation: TB testing is required for all student experiences and is done at the expense of the student; this requirement is not able to be waived. TB testing can be completed at a primary care physician’s office, the health department, occupational medicine provider (i.e. Aultworks) or a college/university health services department. For more information, please visit this link.
Flu Documentation: Flu season restriction is from November 1 – March 31st annually unless extended by the hospital executive team. During that timeframe all participating in student experiences are to either have a flu shot or must submit a Flu Waiver. If you waive the flu shot a mask must be worn in patient care areas during your experience.
COVID 19 Vaccination Documentation: This immunization is required for all student experiences at Aultman.

Please complete all paperwork at least 2 weeks prior to your requested start date for processing; applications and documentation not received in a timely manner could result in the delay of a student experience. Applications will be processed in the order that they are received and could require longer processing time depending on if an observation experience has not already been coordinated by the student.

Once all documentation has been received and processed, you will receive an email containing your official approval letter.

If you have questions about the application process, please email studentexperiences@aultman.com.
