Shadowing Observation Volunteer Application

Due to the volume of requests, we are unable to arrange job shadowing contacts in Detroit. We suggest making connections through your school, student medical groups, LinkedIn, healthcare websites, or your own personal medical provider to help arrange a shadowing opportunity.

Please be aware that shadowing policies vary across Henry Ford Health hospitals, and not all locations offer opportunities. Shadowing/observing is restricted to two 8-hour days (16 hours total) within a 12-month period per student. If this does not apply, please do not submit this form. Instead, you may explore our Volunteer programs for valuable experience within our hospitals or medical centers.

If you are a current medical student (MI–M4), please contact Medical Education at (313) 916-1601.

If you have a medical professional or physician who has agreed to work with you, we will provide the necessary paperwork for a maximum of two visits (16 hours total) once a contact is identified.
