The following health care professionals have generously offered their time to UPS students interested in learning about their profession. Feel free to contact them with questions and inquiries into shadowing opportunities. Please be respectful of their time, and of restrictions they may face due to recent changes in HIPPA legislation. These are wonderful opportunities and we would love to continue relationships with these health care providers.
