Onsite Medical Volunteers
Onsite Medical Volunteers assist our forensic medical staff during onsite forensic medical exams. While ideal Medical Volunteer applicants are nurses, nursing students, medical students, retired medical staff, or individuals with a medical background, medical experience is not required.
Medical Volunteers sign up for shifts only when a medical is scheduled. Shifts can vary between one to three hours, depending on the situation. Exams are usually scheduled during the week (Monday through Friday) between 9:00am and 5:00pm, however some exams are scheduled after hours and on weekends.
All individuals interested in serving as an Onsite Medical Volunteer must attend New Volunteer Orientation.
New Volunteer Orientation is offered three times a year in the spring, summer, and fall.
Medical Accompaniment Volunteers (MAV)

While ideal MAV applicants are nurses, nursing students, medical students, retired medical staff, or individuals with a medical background, medical experience is not required. MAVs assist Baylor Scott & White staff to help make the forensic exam process less stressful for child clients and their families.
All individuals interested in participating in the MAV program must attend New Volunteer Orientation and must also complete MAV training.
New Volunteer Orientation is offered three times a year in the spring, summer, and fall.
