Shadow Placement for Students
Balancing school, a part-time job, volunteering, and chasing down rec letters?
Don't stress - We've got you.
A full schedule shouldn't block you from your dreams
We believe healthcare shadowing opportunities should be more accessible for every student.
And ShadowSource is here to support you every step of the way.
Your Pre-Health Journey Starts Here
Whether you’re just starting or already on your pre-health journey, ShadowSource helps you land real-world shadowing opportunities that fit your schedule, location, and interests.
We’ll guide you through the process, from creating a profile and completing HIPAA training to matching you with providers. If a clinic can’t take you, don’t stress – we’ll find other options for you.
We Help You Stand Out, Not Stress Out
Need a recommendation letter? We’ve got that covered, too. We’ll help generate one based on your shadowing experience, track deadlines, and remind your provider when it’s time to submit – so nothing slips through the cracks.
Plus, if you’re looking for hands-on experience, our members-only career center connects you with paid* and volunteer job opportunites at partner clinics.

Begin by creating your own personal profile, where you will need to provide your availability, how far you are willing to travel, and which specialties you’re interested in. Once your profile is completed we’ll share providers that best fit your criteria.
No match? No problem. We’ll provide you with alternative options. Some providers may want to review your profile before accepting you to shadow. If you are not accepted, we will provide you with other options.

It’ll only take about 10 minutes to get started once we get some basic info from you. For everyone’s safety (yours included!), we’ll run a quick background check, so have your ID handy.
Also, before you can shadow at any clinic, you’ll need to complete our HIPAA training. Some clinics might have a few extra training steps (but we’ll let you know that ahead of time).
Our mission is to create equitable healthcare opportunities. We don’t believe cost should be a barrier to your dreams. We have to charge $X upfront to cover the onboarding overhead and we include your first month of membership. After that, you pay $X a month for the membership.
