Shadowing Observer Agreement
As a shadowing observer at Makkah Community Dental Clinic (MCDC), I agree that: (1) I am observing only and will not touch patients, instruments, or equipment, or provide any care; (2) all patient information I see or hear is confidential under HIPAA. I will not record, photograph, copy, or discuss it outside the clinic, and this obligation continues after my shadowing ends; (3) I will follow the directions of clinic staff and volunteer dentists at all times, including infection-control rules, dress code, and any request to step out of a treatment area; (4) I will not present myself to patients as a clinician or student clinician; and (5) the clinic may end my shadowing at any time. I understand that shadowing is unpaid and that the clinic makes no commitment to a set number of hours.
