Haiti
Please spread the word!
The Haiti Volunteer Network is a volunteer effort. We need your help to spread the word to others -- so that people with skills, services and goods to offer can connect with the right people to make a difference.
Keep in mind that you do not necessarily have to travel to Haiti to volunteer. In fact, unless you are experienced in disaster and crisis response, you may unintentionally do more harm than good by traveling to Haiti right away (http://bit.ly/6M2Rje). However, Haiti will likely need skilled volunteers to help recover from this disaster in the months and years to come. There are also ways to use many of your skills (such as technology and language) from wherever you are.
This is an information exchange service only. Please create a profile to network with others and look for opportunities to help. Please only contact us directly if you have questions about the web site. We are just web developers trying to help out and are not an actual agency providing relief services or coordinating volunteers.

Recent medical graduate looking to work in Haiti

I can do simple procedures by myself. Usually I can work as a medical assistant or 1st year surgical intern. If its a very complex procedure that requires 2 other surgeons, I can work as a surgical assistant.
Even if not working in surgical, I can bounce in other departments of medicine, i.e. Emergency medicine, pediatrics.
