•Formal partnership with EMSA and HealthCare Volunteer to
attract medical students and
member physicians to volunteer in medical shortage locations around the world.
•Deploy physicians for long-term (6 months – 1 year) into
volunteering locations and have
medical students rotate 1-4 weeks through
clinics under the supervision of these deployed physicians.
•Direct volunteering with government clinics in cases of
long-term volunteering and direct
involvement with Ministry of Health to maximize value for patients.
•Room/board/transportation funding: depends on medical
status and amount of time willing
to volunteer; longer terms and physicians are more likely to receive room/board/transportation when
volunteering in government
clinics, while shorter terms and medical students are less likely to receive room/board/transportation when
volunteering. For medical
students, grants, fellowships, scholarships will be of use for funding as will inexpensive arrangements that our
organization sets up
around each volunteering location.
