Job shadowing, according to Live Career, is most often a career-exploration activity for middle- and high-school students, but there is no reason why college students and older job-seekers cannot also participate in this valuable practice.
Job shadowing provides individuals an opportunity to experience a professional’s position through observation during a typical workday.
Health care providers need to keep in mind that those who shadow professionals are also required by law to keep patients’ information confidential. HIPAA laws apply even to someone who’s shadowing at the facility for just a day.
