Scholarships
As part of an overarching goal to eliminate health disparities and reach vulnerable populations, the Boston Medical Reserve Corps has awarded 10 scholarships for volunteers to complete eight week course on American Sign Language for first responders.
Massachusetts System for the Advanced Registration for Voluntary Health Professionals (MSAR)
MSAR is a statewide, secure database of pre-credentialed health care professionals who are interested in volunteering their services in the event of a public health emergency. MRC units support "local" public health initiatives, while MSAR is designed to pre-credential and deploy individuals in a large-scale disaster. MRC members are encouraged to consider registering with MSAR to ensure that locally-based resources are available in the event of a declared public health emergency. MSAR members are also encouraged to register with an MRC to assist in smaller, local events that do not initiate a MSAR activation. For more information, please visit www.mass.gov/msar
