Learn about shadowing, volunteer and part-time job opportunities to gain exposure to healthcare occupations. Co-sponsored by the Center for Career & Professional Development and the Director of Academic and Funded Internships.

Opportunities we will discuss include:

St. David’s Hospital of Georgetown Shadowing Internship

Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital Internship & Observership Programs

Williamson County Medical Reserve Corps

TAMU College of Medicine Standardized Patient Program

Southwestern University and St. David’s Hospital in Georgetown partner to provide unpaid, 1-credit shadowing opportunities for up to four (4) current students for a total of 10 weeks each fall and spring semester. Students will be selected through a competitive application process for this opportunity for Spring 2025.

At the hospital, selected students spend half a day (4 hours) for each of the weeks shadowing physicians, nurses and technicians from areas of the hospital that would normally be difficult to gain access to on your own. Rotations include

Surgery (Note: Surgery is always a very early a.m. shift)
Radiology
Endoscopy
Women’s Services
Laboratory
Outpatient Surgery
Rehabilitation
Emergency (2 consecutive weeks)
Student’s choice option for one week
