Volunteer On-Boarding Requirements

UMMC volunteers are carefully screened, processed, and placed in appropriate assignments. This process includes fingerprint/background check, a 2-step TB (tuberculosis) skin test, a flu shot, and Volunteer Orientation.

Requirements for Volunteering:

• Be at least 16 years old.
• Submit an online application.
• Complete a 2-step TB skin test. A 2-step TB skin test takes at least 10 days and 4 separate trips to UMMC. If you are under 18, a parent must accompany you for each step and you must bring a copy of your immunizations.
• Receive flu shot for current season or provide documentation that you received it elsewhere.
• Once we have reviewed your information, you will receive an email with a link to schedule your background check. You will need to present a valid state-issued photo identification or passport. If you are under 18, a parent/guardian must be present.
• Attend Volunteer Orientation.

Annual Updates:

• TB skin test risk assessment completed by UMMC Student Employee Health.
• Yearly flu shot received.
• Annual Education read and signed online.
