Global Health Outreach Participant Application

please include country code if outside of the United States

In order to be considered for any DOCARE opportunity, each applicant must be a current DOCARE Member. Join by visiting docareintl.org/become-a-member.

I will participate in this outreach opportunity as my free and voluntary act.

I recognize and assume all risks and expense as a result of participating in global health outreach. These risks include but are not limited to the following:

1. Exposure to blood-borne pathogens and other potentially infectious materials where ability to access immediate treatment may be limited
2. Personal injury such as accidents inherent to travel in motorized vehicles
3. Sickness including exposure to endemic infectious disease
4. Death

I understand medical and evacuation insurance is required for all participants with a minimum coverage level of $500,000 to include repatriation if necessary. In addition, cancellation insurance is recommended (but not required).

My travel to and presence in a foreign country will expose me to potential risks of disease, injury, and physical and emotional harm, including death, that I would not otherwise be exposed to.

DOCARE is not a travel advisory service. It is my responsibility to review information from the U.S. State Department and other organizations regarding the travel risks involved for the host country.
