UHealth Clinical Observership Program — University of Miami

The University of Miami UHealth Clinical Observership Program is a sponsor-gated shadowing experience for medical professionals seeking exposure to an academic South Florida health system. The core structural rule is that every applicant must secure a UHealth sponsor (a faculty member or credentialed clinician) and supply their full name and email in the application before the form will progress, which functions as a pre-match step. Rotations cannot exceed twelve weeks, and applications submitted fewer than three weeks before the intended start date are rejected. More than forty clinical areas are offered, spanning oncology, cardiology, pediatrics, surgical subspecialties, and others. The public application form collects citizenship, education, and work-history information and requires attestation to the program's rules, but does not surface details on fees, USMLE/ECFMG requirements, visa sponsorship, LORs, or certificates; a separate program handbook is referenced for those specifics. Applicants planning to use this rotation to strengthen a Match portfolio should clarify LOR and documentation practices with their sponsor before committing. UHealth is distinct from Jackson Health System, which operates its own separate observership track.
