Description:

The Jungle Hospital is in need of providers year round, and we do our best to accommodate hectic schedules and short vacation windows.

Who does the Jungle Hospital consider a Provider?

We consider anyone who is a licensed medical or dental professional, who would like to come to the Jungle Hospital apart from a team, a Practitioner. This means that if you are a licensed nurse, nurse practitioner, medical doctor, physician’s assistant, dental hygienist, pharmacy technician, laboratory technician, etc. you can schedule a time to serve at the Jungle Hospital when it is convenient for you.

Can Providers come and serve with a team?

Yes! If the time you would like to come to the Jungle Hospital has already been booked by another team, visiting Practitioners can come and serve alongside that team. The only limiting factor would be space in our dormitory – some teams are very large and leave no room for additional visitors.

Can Providers come year round?

Yes! The Jungle Hospital provides medical care to the surrounding communities year round. Weather permitting, we allow Practitioners to come and serve anytime throughout the year.

Can Providers come back more than once a year?

Yes! Once a Practitioner completes the application process, and serves onsite with the Jungle Hospital a decision will be made as to whether or not the relationship will continue. There are a lot of factors to consider when serving in a Third World environment, and we want to make sure that all of our staff members, volunteers, and most importantly our patients are well taken care of in any relationship we pursue. Once an invitation to return has been extended, a Practitioner may visit as many times per year as their schedules permits.
