FAQs
What can I use my shadowing participation hours and certificates for?
If you are in high school, shadowing hours may count towards work or volunteer experience. You can present your certificates that are sent to you as proof of attendance. Some schools have already announced that KINterns virtual shadowing hours will count towards work experience needed to graduate, but if you are unsure make sure to ask your career life educator or guidance counselor.
If you are in university, KINterns shadowing hours may count towards clinical shadowing/ clinical volunteer hours. Some post grad schools may require a certain amount of clinical experience for application. You may also be asked to reflect on your clinical shadowing experiences as part of the application process. You can present your certificates as proof of attendance. Make sure to contact the school first to make sure they are accepted.
Please make sure to check with your schools if KINterns virtual shadowing hours will be accepted. We are currently an online based program, which is not considered traditional shadowing, but hope to expand to in person in the future once COVID-19 allows for it.

I am in highschool. Can I still attend the eShadowing sessions?
Yes!
KINterns virtual shadowing is currently open to everyone, student or not.
The sessions are geared towards undergraduate students looking to pursue a career as an allied health professional (Physiotherapist, Kinesiologist, Occupational Therapist, Athletic Therapist, Chiropractor, etc). The sessions may not be as useful if a student is not looking to pursue this type of career. However, the eShadowing sessions can help students decide what their interests are.

I am not receiving emails for the link/ registration, what should I do?
First of all, double check your email when you sign up and make sure it is correct. I did have people sign up with typos (like @gmail.cim or gmaill.com etc) so make sure your email is correct.
Second, add [email protected] to your address book to prevent our emails from being filtered out. Many school emails filter out emails that do not have the same domain, or what they might think is spam.
