Description:

Health Volunteers Overseas accepts qualified health care professionals with the expertise and dedication to share their knowledge with health providers and those-in-training in resource-scarce countries.

While volunteering overseas has many challenges, HVO volunteers regularly report their assignments as a significantly beneficial experience. Along with the knowledge that they have improved the availability and quality of health care in developing countries, many HVO volunteers report improvements in their own practice and professional satisfaction. Many develop lasting professional connections with their colleagues overseas and come away with an improved understanding of the challenges health care workers face around the world.

We hope you will join us in our work to improve global health. Here are some essential resources as you consider becoming a volunteer. If you’d like to speak with an HVO volunteer coordinator and learn more about the experience of previous volunteers, please contact us.

Organizational Base: Washington, DC
