Airline Ambassadors is looking for doctors to participate in

ongoing medical missions to Haiti!

Airline Ambassadors is looking for doctors, nurses, physical therapists and pharmacists to participate in ongoing medical missions to Haiti.
We are partnering with Project Medishare and the University of Miami to assist with relief work in Port-au-Prince and Thomonde, Haiti. Medical professionals will provide relief services at established Medishare/Univ of Miami facilities helping those most in need.

Five months after the earthquake, much of the critical focus has turned to working on trauma and rehabilitation for survivors, as well as education and treatment of simple diseases.  Volunteer physical therapists are providing rehabilitation and therapy services for patients, as well as for those with spinal cord and brain injuries.  We are currently in need of nurses, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, pharmacists, orthopedic technicians, and general surgeons.  We are asking that volunteers make an eight day commitment, with an option of continuing up to two weeks, in order to ensure continuity and efficiency for patients.
