After You Apply
The Ghana Health Team is a large international team of approximately 60 members. To effectively and efficiently run clinics attending to thousands of patients, the team is composed of a strategic balance between the different disciplines (i.e. physicians, nurses, pharmacists). Most of our non-medical volunteer needs will now be met by local Ghanaian personnel. The Selection Committee, including representation from GRID and NEA, will carefully review all applications in order to bring the best balance of skills required to serve the poor. References and interviews may be requested.
