Observation Sites

When observing in a hospital or clinic setting, it is expected that you conduct yourself professionally. Attire is business casual. No jeans or shorts, no t-shirts with writing on them. Be on time, and stay for the agreed upon amount of time. Respect the patient's right to confidentiality. Talk to the PT or PTA privately concerning whether they prefer that you to ask questions in the presence of the patient or after the treatment.

Heartland System
 
For observation at any Heartland site, please contact Megan Madget at 816-271-8814 in the Center for Healing Generosity, or visit the web at www.heartland-health.com/jobshadow. This is a necessary first step before contacting the therapy site directly. As this process takes some time, contact Heartland early. At least two of your observation hours should be completed at Heartland inpatient acute.
