- 2026 Job Shadow Request Form
- Job shadow opportunities are observation-only experiences available to college students who have an academic requirement or need to complete a job shadow experience as part of an application to a healthcare program. Opportunities are also available to healthcare professionals from outside organizations. Due to limited availability, participants are limited to a maximum of two 8-hour job shadow shifts per calendar year.
- High school students interested in exploring healthcare careers at KH should participate in the High School Student Career Conference, which provides opportunities for high school students to learn about healthcare professions and the healthcare environment.
