Murray-Calloway County Hospital (MCCH) offers health care career exploration and job shadowing opportunities through the MASH (Mentoring Access for Shadowing in Healthcare) program. The program allows students and individuals interested in healthcare careers to observe professionals across a variety of clinical and nonclinical departments and gain insight into daily responsibilities, required training, and potential career pathways within a hospital setting.

MCCH frequently coordinates these opportunities with regional partners, including the Purchase Area Health Education Center (AHEC) and local workforce organizations. Participants may observe departments such as nursing, imaging, laboratory services, and administrative areas, providing exposure to multiple roles within the healthcare workforce.

Job shadowing opportunities are typically available for high school students (generally age 16 and older), college students, and individuals exploring a career transition into healthcare. These observation-based experiences are short-term and unpaid, with schedules arranged for a limited number of hours. Participants may be required to complete an application and submit documentation, such as confidentiality agreements, proof of immunization, and a recent tuberculosis (TB) test, prior to participation.
