PHS Short-Form Video Volunteer
PHS · SHORT‑FORM VIDEO CREW

Create bite‑size videos that open doors in healthcare

Help students discover free virtual shadowing, earn certificates, and feel confident applying to healthcare programs. Make 15–60s clips from your phone—our team handles posting and analytics.

Why Shorts Work

Access, momentum, and real outcomes.

Short videos remove barriers—location, time, nerves. They turn live moments into repeatable insights and drive sign‑ups, quiz completions, and certificates students can add to resumes and LinkedIn.
