Health Volunteers Overseas

Hvo's model combines a cost-efficient and innovative volunteer structure to deliver Health training and education with a collaborative partnership philosophy leading to sustained and measurable improvements in Health care delivery at sites. The intended impact of hvo's model is: 1) to improve Health care availability by training new providers and sustaining existing providers through professional development opportunities; and, 2) to improve Health care quality by training, teaching and mentoring providers.hvo accomplishes its mission in several different ways: by sending highly skilled Health professionals to complete short-term teaching assignments at partner institutions (universities, hospitals, and clinics) to build the knowledge, skills, and leadership capacity of students, residents and faculty; by offering remote, online e-learning and mentorship programs which complement and expand upon in-person training; and by offering scholarships for international Health providers to attend conferences and workshops and fellowships for us-based Volunteers to undertake longer-term volunteer assignments addressing complex and critical needs identified by project sites.
