Marshfield Clinic Health System defines an Observational Experience as the observation of an employee in his/her professional role with no physical (patient) contact other than airborne exposure.
Observation Experiences have resumed in a limited capacity based on resources. Marshfield Clinic staff volunteer their time to allow observation of their practice. Because of the voluntary nature of the experience, meeting application requirements does not guarantee experience.
To apply directly for an observational experience at Marshfield Clinic, a person must be at least 18 years old and a high school graduate. Please follow these steps:
- Complete application form
- Sound learning objective or legitimate purpose must be submitted in writing or electronic attachment with the application.
