Students who are approved to complete an experience at PHC are required to complete a student information form, student orientation, confidentiality agreement, and to provide a Letter of Good Standing from their educational institution before starting their experience. PHC does not approve requests for shadowing experiences that are not part of an experience covered under a Student Affiliation Agreement.
