Great! Finish your registration and pick your assignments for your first clinic, then click
SAVE AND SUBMIT at the bottom.
THEN, click the RECALL button at the top to pull up your record, scroll down, and pick your assignments for the second event (and repeat).
- Waiting Lists: if your preferred assignment is full, a waiting list option may be shown. If you choose to be on the waiting list for your preferred assignment, you will also be given the option to select an alternate assignment. If an opening becomes available in your preferred assignment, you will receive an email notice (and, if selected, a text message) automatically moving you to your preferred assignment. This will automatically cancel you from the alternate assignment.
- Treat all patients and volunteers the way you would like to be treated.
- Do not initiate physical contact with patients or volunteers, with the exception of necessary contact when administering treatment.
- Do not judge or make assumptions about lifestyles, cultures, or personal habits.
- Demonstrate compassion and understanding with patients due to the lengths they endured to receive services at the clinic.
- Operate in a way that minimizes risk and promotes safety.
- Remain open to new tasks as the clinic progresses and needs change.
- Remain in full control of all faculties at all time.
*RAM reserves the right to remove any volunteer or staff member showing signs of being impaired or causing disruption.
