Volunteering
With RAM |
Without
our volunteers, RAM would be unable to provide the services
our patients need. The volunteers hardest to find are
the professionals, such as dentists, ophthalmologists,
optometrists, and other physicians whose services the
patients have come to receive. Additionally, we have roles for
dental hygienists, nurses, opticians, and other
licensed professionals. Veterinarians, veterinary technicians,
and assistants are also encouraged to volunteer. If
you have a skill that you believe might be useful to
RAM's patients, please VOLUNTEER TODAY!
You can learn about each of our programs by clicking the links under RAM Programs in the left-hand column of this page.
If you have questions, please see answers to our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more.

| STUDENTS |
| Advanced, senior level dental and vision
students, as well as nursing students who are appropriately trained, may be involved in
certain levels of patient care. To volunteer as a student, you must have school sponsorship and supervision in the
form of a licensed practitioner. If you have questions, please see answers to our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more. |

| ANOTHER WAY TO VOLUNTEER |
Another
way to volunteer is to assist the local host organization
sponsoring the expedition during pre-clinic planning and/or post-clinic operations. As hosts for the clinic, they are responsible for coordinating local logistics for the clinic and
can tell you what they need. If you live in/near the county where a RAM clinic is scheduled,
are available for several hours a week during the months leading up to the clinic,
and would like to volunteer on a planning committee, you may contact RAM headquarters for information on
local host groups.

| INTERNATIONAL EXPEDITIONS |
On
overseas expeditions, our teams are selected based on
the purpose of the trip. For example, on women's health
trips to Guyana, our team may be comprised of primarily
women's health specialists, such as OB/Gynecologists
and surgeons, a pathologist when available, nurses,
and several other support personnel.
If you have an
interest in these types of expeditions, you should dialogue
with RAM directly.
|
RAM always
welcomes people interested in volunteering to come and
be a part of an expedition.
To volunteer, please view our schedule, complete the registration form for the expedition you would like to attend,
and send it to RAM using the contact information on the form.
