Thank you for your interest in educational placement with Bloomington Hospital. 

Bloomington Hospital has been advancing medicine and enhancing health for a century and we recognize that in our next century, current students are the future leaders in healthcare in South Central Indiana. 

If you are a current Bloomington Hospital employee seeking a shadowing or internship experience or made clinical arrangements, please fill out the Employee Data Form and submit to Student Placement Services.

Shadowing: Shadowing is an observational experience for a period of five days or less. This experience allows you to observe a healthcare professional in his/her work setting and ask them career related questions. You will not be able to perform any patient care related duties, instead you are able to watch and ask questions for a short period of time.

Internships: An Internship is a limited "hands-on" or "project-related" experience in one or more departments for more than five days. Please note that all Bloomington Hospital internships are non-paid, but meet credit requirements at local establishments of higher learning.

Follow-A-Physician: Are you interested in becoming a doctor?  At Bloomington Hospital, we are happy to let you shadow a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner in our facility. 

Clinicals: A clinical student is defined as a college or university student enrolled in an approved class and supervised by a program clinical instructor. College or university program clinical instructor arranges placements. If you are a Clinical Student or Instructor completing orientation, please visit the Student Orientation page. 

Volunteering: Bloomington Hospital benefits from many dedicated volunteers who help with tasks such as welcoming patients, delivering mail and more. Volunteers are not necessarily students, and are not paid. Please note that volunteers do not have special access to patient care areas or expertise.
