Shadow Placement for Schools & Universities
Enhance the student experience & Attract Applicants
Students increasingly look for real-world experience when selecting a pre-health program. By partnering with ShadowSource, your school can offer a clearer, more accessible path to shadowing hours – helping your program to stand out and be more attractive to prospective students and their families.
Bridge the gap between classroom and clinic
Access to meaningful clinical shadowing strengthens student applications to Physician Associate, Nurse Practitioner, and medical schools.* ShadowSource helps ensure your students have verified, high-quality shadowing experiences that check the boxes admissions committees are looking for – giving your graduates a competitive edge.
*We are currently only offering Physician Associate shadowing hours. If you’d like to be notified when we expand to Nurse Practitioner and medical schools, click here to sign up for updates.
Strengthen alumni engagement and giving potential
ShadowSource creates a natural bridge between alumni healthcare providers and your current students. Alumni who serve as preceptors or mentors often feel a deeper connection to their alma mater – opening doors for future involvement, mentoring, speaking engagements, and even donations.

Start Shadowing!
We believe healthcare shadowing opportunities should be more accessible for every student.
And ShadowSource is here to support you every step of the way.
ShadowSource matches students and providers together based on mutual availability, location, and specialty. Our algorithm helps fill schedules by making recommendations based on close matches, all while keeping everyone’s information confidential until right before the shadow appointment. If providers and/or managers want more control, they can choose to be more selective or add additional requirements to prospective shadowing opportunities.
