Field Team Applications

The comprehensive efforts of MEDICO are far reaching, touching the lives of the recipient of care, the volunteer who serves, and the provider who supports these efforts. All of this work is administered through the staff here at MEDICO, working tirelessly to provide seamless administration and management of this humanitarian service organization. The ease and effectiveness of our work is contingent on those that support our efforts, participating within the systems that are set-up to best manage this organization.

An important administrative facet of MEDICO - our field team efforts - involve the submission of our on-line field team application. This application provides our offices with much needed information about the applicant, such as: contact information, special skills, medical condition, and field team preference. Without this application completed and submitted, it is impossible to presume who might be participants on a field team. The MEDICO office develops field teams based upon several criteria once the application is submitted. They are:

  1. Medical professionals who speak Spanish.
  2. Medical professionals who do not speak speak Spanish.
  3. Interpreters.
  4. Lay volunteers.
MEDICO does not assume a volunteer's interest in participation on a field team nor select a volunteer to a field team without a completed application. Additionally, MEDICO cannot guarantee a selected volunteer's friend or family member a position on a field team.

We sincerely appreciate the consideration and efforts of prospective field team volunteers in completing our application process. This ensures that our field teams are developed in the most expeditious manner, honoring all who apply.

Please contact our offices at (512)930-1893 for questions or clarification.
