Volunteer

Volunteers play an extremely important role at UCHealth. They impact the lives of those we serve through extraordinary care and support to patients, family members, guests, staff and fellow volunteers. Our volunteers find challenging, enjoyable activities that satisfy and enhance their desire to serve. They also provide a personal touch that enriches the hospital experience.

Volunteer service is a responsibility that calls for time and dedication. Age limits vary by facility, with a minimum age ranging from 14-18 years or older. Please refer to each hospital for their specific requirements.

Join us in contributing to UCHealth’s efforts in helping our community live extraordinary.

Shadowing/Observership

UCHealth is very proud of the care provided to our patients. Our Shadowing/Clinical Observership program builds on UCHealth’s desire to educate future clinical, administrative and research leaders. This opportunity facilitates knowledge sharing in a variety of areas in addition to demonstrating quality and innovation in healthcare.

Shadowing/Clinical Observership opportunities provide important learning for both professionals and students. These opportunities are educational only, provide no hands-on experience and are available to anyone 18 years of age or older. Shadowing is limited to 12 hours within a 12-month period, while observerships can last up to 30 days. There are additional qualifications to be approved for this learning opportunity.

Before applying, have your Sponsor lined up. To find a sponsor, applicants can visit www.UCHealth.org, click on the “Doctors” tab at the top of the page, and search for a doctor by location or specialty. Contacting a doctor directly is the best way to ask about shadowing, and they can assign a Sponsor.

If you are seeking clinical experience for academic credit, please work with your school to make a formal request to UCHealth for this placement.
