Job shadows

Covenant Health is pleased to offer job shadows at all of our sites. Our rural and urban centres offer close-knit teams with a variety of specializations and industry-leading services.

Whether you’re a student considering your future career or a professional looking for a change, consider a job shadow with our knowledgeable team members. 

Job shadows are available in clinical and corporate roles across many specialties and programs. You can connect with a registered nurse, physical therapist, pharmacy technician, human resources professional or other roles working together to improve health care for Albertans.

Who can job shadow?

Job shadows are open to:

• students in Grades 9 – 12
• post-secondary students
• healthcare workers looking to change careers or employers
• those applying for post-secondary programs who are required to attend an observation before applying

To attend a job shadow at a healthcare facility, you will need to provide your measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) immunization.

We are unable to arrange physician job shadows at this time.
