  • Student Training (Observation)

  • 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.

    Dress Code: Business Casual with comfortable shoes, you may be standing, or walking a lot!

    Day of arrival: you will enter via the main entrance and go past the receptionist desk, down the hallway to the Security sliding window on the left to check in (it is across from the cafeteria) and they will ask for your id (they will hold your id for the day, but return it that afternoon, when you return your Williamson Health badge.)

    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
