Explore Student Programs at UVA Health

This portal will reopen on September 2, 2025 for the 25-26 academic cycle.  These shadowing and observation experiences provided by our faculty are for educational benefits ONLY.  We do not award any credit or provide letters of recommendation.  We do not offer recurring shadowing experiences, unless a UVA health education program has prearranged approval from the SOM and department.  We have a limited number of monthly slots to shadow and will be given on a first come first serve basis.  ALL shadowers/observers MUST be 18 years of age at the time of application.

These programs often welcome students from a variety of academic backgrounds who are curious about healthcare careers, even if they are not currently on a pre-med track. Be sure to review each program’s eligibility criteria and application process.
