Boston Medical Reserve Corps
Join Today!
Be part of
an organized effort to assist your community in
public health emergency response.
 The Boston Medical
Reserve Corps is a committed group of volunteers,
with and without medical backgrounds, who keep
Boston safe by responding to public health
emergencies. Recent events have taught us that
cities need to be ready for anything, including
natural disasters, terrorism, and disease. You can
help ensure that all Bostonians, especially the
most vulnerable, receive the care they need during
a public health crisis.
Who is eligible
to volunteer?
Anyone who wants to help can
apply. We have a great need for both medical
professionals (doctors, nurses, EMTs, medical
interpreters, others) and dedicated community
residents to help us effectively run clinics.
What will I do as a BMRC
Volunteer?
BMRC volunteers assist in
response efforts during a public health or
medical emergency by: |
 |
• |
Administering vaccines or medications to
people at risk of becoming
ill |
| • |
Logistical support to ensure smooth
clinic operations |
| • |
Providing information and support to
clinic patients |
| Volunteers serve at their level of
training and licensure. You will not be asked to
perform tasks for which you are not
trained. |
How
much time will volunteering
take?
Unlike most volunteer
assignments, being a BMRC volunteer has no set
time commitment. Once you are trained, you will
only be called to volunteer during an event
affecting public health – normally once or twice a
year.
Will I be trained?
Yes.
Response Level training takes about 1.5 hours, and
can be completed online. We are also seeking
Leadership Level volunteers to perform supervisory
roles at clinics. Training for leadership roles
takes an additional 8-10 hours to complete. For
more information about becoming a Leadership Level
volunteer, contact the volunteer
coordinator.
Will I be safe?
The
safety of BMRC volunteers is our highest priority.
No one will be asked to volunteer until it is safe
to do so. In addition, volunteers receive
specialized safety training and
preparation.
