CMMB volunteers may address immediate needs through direct patient care as well as through medical training to help upgrade the skills of local healthcare providers. In all our volunteer placements, the ultimate goal is to help local personnel assume the role of provider as well as educator, so that they in turn can pass on their skills within the community.

Licensing Requirements
CMMB limits placement of volunteers to those who hold U.S. or Canadian licenses. CMMB accepts volunteers of all faiths; a CMMB volunteer does not need to be a Catholic.

Time Commitment
Most of CMMB's overseas missions prefer a fairly long-term commitment typically one year or more. CMMB sometimes offers some shorter-term placements of one month to six months.

Destination Countries
CMMB places volunteers in many countries all over the world, and we are constantly finding new volunteer opportunities. Within the past year, CMMB has sent volunteers to Belize, Cameroon, China, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Ecuador, Ghana, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, South Africa, St. Lucia, Swaziland, Thailand, Uganda and Zambia.
