Shadowing

If interested in shadowing, please follow the steps below. Note qualified applicants must schedule a clinical ‘shadowing’ experience for their selected program(s) of interest as part of the application process.

This opportunity will provide first-hand insight into the fields of EEG and IONM. During this time prospective students will meet the instructors and staff, visit the classroom(s), and ask questions concerning the program and Charleston area. 

NOTE: Acceptance to shadow through Career Explorations can take 2+ weeks to process, therefore prospective students are encouraged to begin the shadowing process ASAP. Shadowing completion prior to the application window will be honored during the application process.  

To begin the shadowing process, please complete the following: 

1. Email cnpstrainingprogram@musc.edu indicating your desired field(s) of shadow to determine what day(s) will work best for the clinical schedule. After date determination, proceed to step 2. 
2. Fill out the MUSC Career Explorations application: Career Exploration Application Form - MUSC Health
3. Submit the following health records to Career Explorations via email (muha-careerexplore@musc.edu)
   • Proof of 3 Hepatitis B vaccines OR Hep B titer showing immunity
   • Proof of 2 MMR vaccines OR MMR titer showing immunity
   • Proof of 2 Varicella vaccines OR Varicella titer showing immunity OR history of the chicken pox
   • Proof of Tdap vaccine received after 2005
   • Proof of flu vaccine for the current flu season (Oct.1-May 1)
4. Complete the Hospital Association’s Passport Care Learning courses linked here passport.carelearning.com/Home/Start. Submit the transcript of the completed courses to muha-careeerexplore@musc.edu. Please note: There is a $15 fee associated with these courses, however, they are good for one year.
5. A national background check completed within the last 12 months of practicum is required for any students over the age of 18. If students already have a background check on file with their current school/university we can accept that. If you have not previously had a background check done, we recommend using SentryLink - Pre Employment Background Checks and Tenant Screening.
6. Once MUSC Career Explorations has received all documentation, a follow-up email will be sent to you confirming clearance. Please forward this email to cnpstrainingprogram@musc.edu. 
7. CNPS Education and Training Program staff and faculty will then send instructions for designated shadowing dates.
