Healthcare Professionals

E-mail Print

At the center of every LMV clinic is a volunteer healthcare professional – or, more often than not, two ore more. We welcome volunteers with the following specializations: MD's, DO's, OD's, DDS's, DMD's, DC's, PT's, acupuncturists, PhD's (psychologists), marriage and family therapists, and others. All professionals must be current and licensed to practice their specialty. A license may be current from areas other than the United States.

Spanish Language Translators

E-mail Print

Each of our clinic trips requires at least one Spanish-language translator; some trips, like multiple-aircraft Mexico trips or our Latin America trips, require more.

Good conversational-level Spanish is the minimum we require for service as an translator. We particularly value a comfortable knowledge of health-related words. LMV's member resources pages have useful Spanish language links, including vocabulary lists, if you'd like to increase or refresh your knowledge prior to a trip.

Pilots

E-mail Print

LMV volunteer pilots make our Mexico and Oasis programs possible. Although two of the locations we serve can be reached by car, most are only reachable by small aircraft. Similarly, the vast majority of our volunteer teams are able to participate only with the additional speed of travel a small plane affords.

General Volunteers

E-mail Print

General volunteers do everything on LMV trips from equipment sterilization, to generator maintenance, intake recordkeeping, photography, or report writing. Even with no healthcare training, the healthcare volunteers on your team may teach you to assist them by handing them instruments, holding a flashlight to help a dentist see inside a patient's mouth, or do any of the other dozens of tasks required to help a clinic trip run smoothly on the ground.
