The PeaceHealth High School Shadowing Program is returning for Whatcom County high school students interested in pursuing health care careers after being paused during the pandemic. The program will be offered one day per month from June through August.
Students who are at least 16 years old are eligible to participate in the program, which will pair students with a health care worker at PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham, according to a May 30 press release from PeaceHealth. The student will learn what a day in the life of a caregiver looks like and will introduce them to specialized support staff jobs in addition to doctors and nurses.
The program is free and runs from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday, June 2; Wednesday, July 26; and Friday, August 25. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
To register, students can contact Jessica Balson, clinical nurse educator, at jbalson@peacehealth.org and share their name, email and phone number.
Students will need to submit proof of vaccinations and sign a consent form.
