Volunteers will also work with internal medicine personnel to improve skills and knowledge, focusing on the following subspecialty areas: cardiology, non-communicable diseases and other areas that KABSOM identifies.

Assignments are one to four weeks. Volunteers must be board-eligible internists or internal medicine subspecialists; final-year residents will be considered if accompanied by a qualified attending. Contact Luc Polglaze or complete the HVO volunteer application to get started.
