Allied Health Academy

The Allied Health Academy is a unique experience to study healthcare related courses and complete two years of clinical job shadowing at Chilton Medical Center. Students will be eligible to earn 16 Rutgers University School of Health professional credits.  In addition to their second year of job shadowing in their senior year, students also present a capstone project.  

Freshman and Sophomore Years begin the course sequence for the Allied Health Academy to establish the foundation for upper level courses. A series of trips and classroom experiences with Chilton Medical Center professionals will enhance the student’s learning. 

During Junior Year students will spend several days per month at Chilton Medical Center job shadowing the various departments including Cardiology, Wound Center, IMCU, Radiology, Obstetrics, Pharmacy, PT/OT, among other areas.

During Senior Year students select focused areas to participate in clinical shadowing throughout the month. There are options for students at Chilton, Hackettstown, Overlook, and Morristown hospitals, including other Atlantic Health System facilities. Students will participate in a final culminating Capstone presentation in the spring of their senior year.
