International Medical Corps	Since 1984, International Medical Corps has helped tens of millions of people in over 70 countries, delivering emergency relief and training valued at more than $2 billion. Current Active Countries: Afghanistan Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic (CAR), Chad, Darfur, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Greece, Haiti, Indonesia, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Ukraine, Yemen, Zimbabwe	International Medical Corps is widely recognized as a pre-eminent first responder with a global reach, delivering humanitarian relief to individuals and communities in need for more than three decades. Such work depends on trained, experienced personnel, and we maintain an active roster of experts with skills in emergency response operations. International Medical Corps also builds self-reliance by helping prepare communities through training programs for local staff so they can respond better to future disasters. Working with communities, we develop emergency systems that cover the spectrum from household to national-level in order to reduce the impact of future disasters and, in the long-term, possibly prevent them.	Emergency Response Volunteers International Medical Corps' emergency response team works to minimize the loss of life and alleviate the suffering of disaster-affected populations across the globe. Our volunteer focus during this devastating time is the provision of life-saving emergency health services, primary health care, public health, and emergency nutrition. International Medical Corps is looking for highly trained medical staff to add to our emergency response roster, which requires that volunteers be willing to deploy rapidly—usually within 72 hours—and for 2–8 weeks. (Preference is given to those able to deploy for longer durations.) In most instances, volunteers will be required to pay for their own flights, but will receive a food allowance for each day spent in the field, shared housing, and emergency medical evacuation insurance.

RECOVER We work together with communities to meet their longer term needs by rebuilding the basic "hubs" of a community, including homes, schools, day care facilities and community centers.
