Job Shadows
Memorial’s Job Shadows program allows Yakima County high school students to observe a staff member for up to eight hours. By seeing the daily activities involved in health care, students can make more educated decisions regarding their career path.
Currently 12 clinical and non-clinical departments participate in the program:
- Pharmacy.
- Laboratory.
- Radiology.
- Physical therapy.
- Oncology nursing.
- Critical care nursing.
- Surgical services.
- Day surgery.
- Social services.
- Respiratory therapy.
- Plant operations.
- Dietary.
To be a job shadow students need to:
- Complete the online application at: www.businesseducation.org.
- Return the health questionnaire and parent/guardian permission form.
- Attend an orientation session at their high school or the Greater Yakima Chamber of Commerce.
