Description: Provides academic credit for shadowing experience of a health care professional. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the health care industry early in their major by shadowing a health care professional for a minimum of 60 hours within a given semester. Once accepted to the Rehabilitation Sciences (BS) program, students will take the expanded version of this course (RHS 4890), which requires students to complete a full internship instead of a shadowing experience.

Students have the option to request RHS 2890 to be waived as a required course for the Rehabilitation Sciences (BS) program. Students must submit a waiver form to the program director, which verifies that they have previously completed at least 60 hours of shadowing experience with a health care professional. Experiential credit is not an option for this course.
