AFC advances health equity by providing comprehensive, whole-person healthcare to our neighbors who would otherwise lack access. This is done through the support of dedicated volunteer medical professionals. Volunteer physicians, both primary care and specialists are integral to our mission. Rheumatology is a particularly high need. Generally, available shifts are Monday-Thursday 1pm-3:30pm and Tuesday-Thursday 5:30pm-8:30pm. Almost all shifts are in-person/onsite, but some telehealth opportunities are still available depending on circumstances.
Volunteer physicians commit to one shift a month (2-3 hours) for at least eight months. Some volunteers opt to spend more time with us, and that's great too! Volunteers are required to do phone interviews with several decision-making staff and must pass a reference/license check.
Providers must be licensed to practice in Virginia and be in good standing in their affiliated hospital. We register all licensed medical professionals with the Virginia Department of Risk Management which provides risk coverage for those working as volunteers in free clinics.
