Student Clinical and Observation Opportunities
Beebe Healthcare is proud to provide clinical and observation opportunities for students. These opportunities exist throughout the Beebe Healthcare system, in a variety of settings, for both our employees and our community members. Please read the criteria carefully. If you are not eligible for clinical observation, please contact our Volunteer Services department.
Beebe Healthcare is a community medical center serving Sussex County since 1916. Founded by two physician brothers, Drs. James Beebe and Richard C. Beebe, the medical center located in beautiful, historic Lewes, Delaware. The hospital is a 210-licensed-bed, not-for-profit medical center that boasts convenient outpatient locations throughout the county. Beebe's specialized service lines include cardiac and vascular, surgical services, oncology, women's health, and orthopaedic services, while also offering an array of inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and diagnostic services.
Observation
Job shadowing is a short-term informal observation of a healthcare role. This program does not confer academic credit. These experiences introduce students and learners to specific healthcare careers through the supervised observation of a healthcare provider. The goal is to assist the observer with making a healthcare career choice. Individuals who have an interest in observing should contact and make arrangements directly with a healthcare provider.
