How the observership process works

From an initial inquiry to a confirmed observership, each step helps clarify your background, preferences, documentation, and timing.

Interest and application

Share your academic status, specialty preference, availability, and contact information using the application form.

Review

The team reviews the information you provided and may follow up with questions. An application is an inquiry, not a promise of acceptance.

Matching

Your stated interests and timing are considered against potential observational opportunities. Availability can vary.

Documentation

If a proposed experience moves forward, the applicable academic, identity, health, and training documents are reviewed.

Scheduling

Dates and next steps are confirmed for a specific experience when arrangements are ready.

Observership

Participate in the confirmed observational experience and follow the host setting's instructions. This is not hands-on patient care.

Questions along the way?

Review applicant requirements and the program overview. If your situation is unusual or you need clarification before applying, send a message.

Review the program details, then tell us about your interests or ask a question. A submission begins a review and does not guarantee a placement.
