How to Volunteer for This Opportunity
I will send you an application and then we can make arrangements for an interview and coffee. I would like to keep you close to your home or work, whichever you prefer, but no more than a 10–15-mile trip for your visits. We can discuss patients in your area and when we go meet them, if you are not comfortable, we can schedule a different patient.
