Volunteers
Medical volunteering in Canada is not difficult but this type of volunteering has many barriers. But these barriers are a good natural selection for volunteers because in the end, there are only those who really want to do it.
A hospital volunteer needs to pass a number of filters to get into a medical organization. For example, volunteers must check for infectious diseases; if volunteers go to a children’s hospital, they must have a certificate of vaccinations. These are objective barriers.
Most of the volunteers are girls between the ages of 19 and 24. This is a normal indicator since today women dominate among both volunteers and medical personnel in Canada.
What do medical volunteers get?
- Ability to help people and be useful to their country;
- New skills and competencies required for professional activities in the healthcare sector;
- Teamwork experience, ability to find compromises and solve problems;
- Bright acquaintances and reliable friends;
- Development of their talents and abilities;
- Participation in major All-Canadian forums and promotions.
