Volunteer Opportunities & Internships
Medical Reserve Corps (MRC)
After the life-altering events of 9/11, volunteer physicians recognized the need for an organized group of medical volunteers who would be trained and prepared to provide emergency response support. The MRC was established shortly after President George W. Bush’s delivery of the 2002 State of the Union Address. The MRC program recruits, trains, and activates medical and non-medical volunteers to respond to community health needs during disasters and other public health emergencies.
