We are looking for Volunteers to work with the Medical Reserve Corps(MRC). We are having an Immunization Drill during the first week of October, so it is very important for you to contact us ASAP! We only have aweek to get you processed and trained, and we really do need your help! We need your help for a variety of duties from Administrative to Patient Counseling.
In addition to the MRC, there are other opportunities in the East Central Health District (ECHD). There are other groups that are sponsoredby various County Health Departments, as well as others sponsored by private nonprofit organizations. We will do our best to find internships and other learning opportunities within the Public Health System for each of you on an individual basis.
Benefits to volunteering at the Health Dept include gaining experience, getting an "inside look" and learning about existing practices and programs (since those in the MPH program are learning to develop new ways to promote Public Health goals, as well as creating new goals andprograms). Also it is a way to get a foothold into the system, to "network"and make contacts, and to get priceless experience that will surely help insecuring a position upon graduation.
