Please note: All volunteers need to submit a new application and waiver acceptance EVERY YEAR.  Volunteers must be over 18 years of age and be skilled in a medical area of need that helps the mission. 

We will be accepting applications through December 2023. Please bear in mind, as much as we would love to include everyone who expresses interest, unfortunately, not all who apply will be able to attend. We will assess our needs and match up the volunteers that fit those needs to best serve our patients. We have a limited amount of space and preference is given to medical volunteers.

ALL VOLUNTEERS (new and returning) NEED TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION EACH YEAR. Volunteers should be over 18 years of age.

If you have not previously volunteered or have no volunteer member for reference, you MUST fill out the section on the application with a brief identifying note about yourself (for example: OR Scrub tech with 10 years experience in Ortho) as well as email us to describe your interest, qualifications, and how you anticipate you can be of help to the mission at medicalmissionecuador@gmail.com. Applications lacking this information will be discarded. Thank you.

Please do not make concrete plans to attend the mission until specific approval has been given via email from administration. It may take until January 1 2022 to determine our full needs although you may have been confirmed prior to that time. If you do not hear back from us, please reach out to medicalmissionecuador@gmail.com.
