Job Shadow

Providence Regional Medical Center Everett (PRMCE) and Providence Medical Group (PMG) provide Job Shadowing opportunities for students on a limited basis. You will learn about a job role through observation and interactions with staff. Direct patient care is prohibited for any shadow or student observation.

Before filling out a Job Shadow Authorization Form, please first review our latest information about Job Shadows at PRMCE.
