Catholic Medical Mission Board: taking MPH graduates to developing countries. Airfare, housing and stipend included!
CMMB has been sending licensed medical volunteers for one year or longer to developing countries around the world for nearly 100 years. The program also places public health and non-medical professionals for one year or longer to address broader health needs within communities to strengthen health systems, with an increasing emphasis on sustainability and impact.
Each year, the MVP (Medical Volunteer Program) sends approximately 20 – 25 volunteers to overseas assignments in countries where CMMB has an established office, and programs, or to a facility that has a relationship with CMMB. To be considered for the MVP, individuals should be US or Canadian citizens who are at least 21 years old. Medical professionals should have US or Canadian licensure in good standing. The MVP provides the following benefits to volunteers:
– Airfare to and from the host country
– Housing
– A monthly stipend (generally $350 a month)
– Emergency Medical and Overseas Evacuation (medevac) and hazard insurance
More information about the program and specific openings for MPH graduates in resource poor countries can be found here: http://cmmb.org/medical-volunteer-program. As the MVP continues to expand, we would like to share our international public health type opportunities for graduates.
