Frequently Asked Questions

Do volunteers receive any financial compensation for their services?

Members of the team are required to cover all of their costs for
the mission. There are no payments for service although a tax
receipt is available for the charitable work of the mission.

May I request placement in a specific location?

Yes. Presently we are only sending teams to Antigua, Guatemala and The Gambia for medical/surgical missions. These two missions occur at different
times of the year.

Is there an age limit?

There is no particular age limit. You must have current Registration/license to practice.

Can my family accompany me?

Family may accompany you once team positions are filled and space is available, however the arrangements for accommodation and airfare are the responsibility of the individual.

I have further questions, who should I contact?

You can go to the Contact page for email addresses to contact any of the individuals involved with the organization.

What kind of hours of work are expected?

The work involved is unlike your regular health care job. You will
be required to be involved in a variety of tasks including stocking
and organizing all of the equipment and medical supplies we bring
with us. During the days of medical services the hours may be variable
but certainly may exceed the 'normal' working day depending on
the number of patients and type of medical work. In any event there
is plenty of time to enjoy the surrounding areas.
