The PCH Observation Request is a preliminary application that does not guarantee approval for shadowing with Primary Children's. If accepted, you will be directed to complete a student profile. You will be notified of final approval with a temporary badge.
Must be within 24 months of applying to medical school.
Student observers are not permitted to participate in any form of patient care.
Student observers are not permitted access to Electronic Medical Records.
Before the student observer is allowed to be present in the clinic room with the patient, the patient or parent must give permission to the provider or clinic staff.
Student observers are never permitted to be alone with a patient.
Faculty and staff in any patient area may, at their discretion, exclude an observer from the clinic or clinical environment at any time and for any reason.
Our office does not coordinate observation opportunities in the PCH surgical suites
