Volunteer

Interested in volunteering? Retired physicians, nurses, dentists, social workers, pharmacists and others — you can make a difference! Medical professionals who volunteer their time and skills often feel they get more out of the experience than they give.

Here's why:

• The patient-focused environment at VIM Clinics is rarely found in today's fast-paced, cost-conscious primary care practices.
  
   
• Our patients have had little or no access to health care. They need care and show their appreciation to those who volunteer to provide it.
  
   
• At VIM clinics, volunteer professionals provide service on their terms, in a relaxed, respectful atmosphere.
  
   
• Each volunteer's time commitment is up to the volunteer. We recommend retired physicians volunteer a minimum of a half-day per week. Some actually choose to provide care every day. Practicing physicians volunteer as much as their schedules permit.
  
   
• Physicians schedule their time to maximize continuity of care with patients.
  
   
• An esprit de corps among providers makes volunteering fun and supportive.
  
   
• Continuing education is required for all professionals who choose to volunteer in our clinics.
