What role might I
play?
The role you play in a
response depends upon your unique skills. Possible
emergency response roles are:
- Assisting in delivery of medical care within
your level of expertise as an RN, LPN, CNA, MD,
EMT, medical secretary, or other credentialed
volunteer,
- Providing mental health support,
- Providing medical interpreting and
translation services,
- Assisting with set up and flow of
clinics,
- Lending the community your special
skills
I am a licensed medical or
mental health provider. Why is it necessary for me
to register pre-disaster?
Following many disasters, large
numbers of talented professionals show up to help,
but many of them are turned away because they are
without the special skills and safety training
given pre-event to keep personnel safe. An
effective response requires that volunteers follow
a pre-established protocol for activation and
follow the incident command
system.
Are additional training
opportunities available?
Yes.
Please refer to www.bphc.org/delvalle
for additional trainings for volunteer health care
professionals. These trainings are of no cost to
volunteers, and supply additional insight in
topics such as the Incident Command System or
Hazardous Materials.
I’m ready. How
do I get involved?
- Complete the on-line application.
- Attend an orientation and then participate
in a refresher training per year to remain an
active member.
- We will contact you shortly! Thank you for
your interest in the Boston Medical Reserve
Corps.
