  • Dear Student,

    The Williamson Health observation program is provided as a service to our community. The program allows local students the opportunity to observe a medical career path of interest.

    There is a limited amout of observation time allowed per student based on department, availabity, and time allowances.

    We are unable to set up observations in certian areas due to patient safety and infection prevention concerns (ie lab). 

    Please note, student preferences for scheduling a observation day will be considered however, organizational priorities may take precedence as needed. 

    Please allow us up to two weeks after we receive ALL of your paperwork to schedule an observation.  

    You should not show up to Williamson Health until you are approved to do so.

    Day of arrival: you will enter via the Boyer/Bryan tower and go to the Security desk to check in and they will confirm that you are on the Education calendar and then give you the appropriate student badge and a plastic badge holder. The plastic badge holder must be turned in at the end of each day. You will sign in and out for the day

    Dress Code: 

    Male & Female Dress: Wear khaki’s/navy, black slacks with polo shirt, button down shirt/blouse, and comfy shoes! No suits and not scrubs. Wear comfortable shoes!

    Williamson Health is located at 4321 Carothers Parkway

    **If your school/program requires verification that you attended an observation, please print the observation verification form and carry it with you to your observation. The person that you shadow should be who you ask to complete the form.**

    For questions or concerns, you can email Susan Gates @ susangates@williamsonhealth.org

  • Handwashing Agreement

  • Hand hygiene protects both healthcare personnel and patients. Hand hygiene means:

    ·     Handwashing with soap and water (e.g., plain soap or with an antiseptic).

    ·     Antiseptic hand rub (alcohol-based foam or gel hand sanitizer).

    ·     Surgical hand antisepsis.

    Cleaning your hands reduces:

    ·      The potential spread of deadly germs to patients.

    ·      The spread of germs, including those resistant to antibiotics.

    ·      The risk of colonization or infection from germs received from the patient.

    Hands should be cleaned:

    ·      Immediately before and after patient interaction

    ·      Before, during, and after preparing food or eating

    ·      Before and after treating or touching a cut or wound

    ·      After using the toilet

    ·      After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing

    ·      After touching hospital surfaces (elevator buttons or door handles etc) 

    ·      After handling garbage

     

  • Handwashing Attestation: I agree to wash my hands and use alcohol-based foam while observing at Williamson Health.  I understand that failure to comply with the handwashing protocol can result in termination of my observation experience.  My signature below indicates my understanding of the guidelines. *
