Medical volunteering
We are looking for medical personnel who bring professional skills and practical experience, as well as commitment and care for the people they help. The more diverse your profile is in terms of professional experience, the better – we value broad clinical experience.
Yes, we are looking for individuals with a medical background and a minimum of three years of professional experience.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer this type of volunteer opportunity for medical students. The role of a volunteer on-site involves independent work and training of local staff; therefore, it is important for medical professionals to be at a stage in their careers where they feel confident.
We need individuals who feel comfortable and are fluent in English, French, Spanish, Russian, or Ukrainian. Basic skills in at least one of these languages are preferred. Communicating in any other language will strengthen your application and chances of participating in the volunteer program.
There is no minimum or maximum age for participating in volunteering, although there are other criteria that candidates must meet, such as a minimum of 3 years of professional experience and overall good health.
Minimum foreign experience is definitely desirable but not required.
No, to qualify for volunteering, you must successfully pass all stages of the recruitment process.
Yes, if you successfully pass all stages of the recruitment process and qualify as a volunteer, you will undergo pre-departure training, including training in mission safety, tropical medicine, and cultural conditions.
The proposal for a mission along with a suggested date depends on the needs of the field missions. It may happen that you will receive the proposal several weeks after the acceptance date.
Depending on the project, the on-site stay can range from 3 to 8 weeks.
In most projects, you will live and work in stressful conditions without many things that you may take for granted at home. Living conditions vary depending on the location. It’s important to note that life in the field will likely be a stark contrast to your everyday life; time and personal space may be scarce, and in some projects, access to email or phones may be limited.
Work on-site is not without risks, but the safety and protection of its workers are one of the organization’s top priorities. Safety is directly related to the occupational risk inherent in the context, mission, and nature of the organization, as well as the behavior of each individual. Risks may include car accidents, hygiene and infection-related risks, or attacks, and may arise from interpersonal conflicts, individual behaviors, exposure to multicultural contexts, or management practices. Please consider potential constraints that may be challenging for you (specific country context, geographical zones, or other limitations) so that we can openly discuss them during the interview process. To get an idea of the countries where we are currently working, please refer to this link.
PMM implements risk management procedures and safety guidelines for each mission, outlining safety principles for each project to minimize risk. However, ensuring your safety and protection is both PMM’s institutional responsibility and your individual responsibility. You will be informed about the exact safety conditions at the deployment location before departure. Therefore, it is your duty, regardless of your level of experience, to familiarize yourself with all relevant information provided before departure and seek additional information (beyond warnings and tourist knowledge) to enable you to make an informed decision.
Yes, each project has its supervisor whom you can contact in case of questions. Both on-site and in Poland, you will have an assigned coordinator you can reach out to.
No, we do not perform medical tests.
Volunteers do not receive compensation for their trips. PMM covers the cost of the trip, including flights, per diem, accommodation, and insurance.
We will cover all health insurance costs during your mission stay.
Depending on the country of your mission, we cover the cost of required vaccinations.
We offer various training opportunities for our volunteers. In addition to mission trips, you will have the opportunity to expand your professional experience through access to trainings conducted by the Polish Medical Mission. We look forward to a long-term cooperation that will result in many joint projects.
