Improving Access to Specialist Medical Care in Developing Regions

Using timely, skillful application of medical technology, we are able to improve access to specialist medical care for an individual or a population. Better quality of care will not only improve health outcomes in developing countries but will also eliminate underprovision of essential clinical services, overuse of some services, and misuse of unneeded services.

Collecting Clinical Data for Program and Health Landscape Monitoring

Medical Volunteer Opportunities Abroad

Clinical data can be utilized as part of a surveillance system for determining the size of a problem, identifying groups more likely to have negative results, analyzing the connections between risk factors and outcomes, and creating interventions to lessen complications or consequences. Analyzing surveillance data can be useful for a variety of objectives, including health care and patient advocacy; determining priorities and allocating health care resources; giving improved statistics about population health; and supporting medical care quality assurance and quality improvement.

Promoting improvements in health care practice worldwide

Medical Volunteer Opportunities Abroad

Volunteering with Floating Doctors provides rare clinical training, with high numbers of patients across a wide spectrum of diseases. The insights into community health, holistic approaches to patients, clinical examination and diagnosis, teamwork and coordination of field activities, and consulting across cultural and language barriers are a unique opportunity for clinicians and trainees. It is our goal that volunteers return to their home country with an invaluable clinical skill set and humanitarian focus to add to their practice and benefit patients at home and on future international medical work.
