Many people in the healthcare profession are interested in volunteer opportunities both at home and abroad. Perhaps it is because of the inherently giving and selfless nature of being a healthcare provider that so many nurses, doctors and allied health professionals find themselves seeking interesting and rewarding volunteer opportunities. Below is a list of links to volunteer organizations that may suit the sort of volunteer experience you are looking for.
Featured Organization
Each year a team of about 40 doctors, nurses, sterilization specialists, clerical and support staff assemble to plan and complete international surgical projects. On each two week mission, about 100 general surgical, gynecological, and plastic surgery operations are performed and hundreds of other patients are assessed and treated in community medical clinics.
Every team consists of an exciting variety of new and veteran team-members who come from diverse geographic, cultural, age, gender, religious and professional backgrounds, and who are nevertheless united by
their team spirit, positive ‘can do’ attitude and their desire to be of service to impoverished people of the developing world. |
