Special Olympics NC needs medical volunteers to help at our 2016 Summer Games! Anyone serving in the capacity of a medical volunteer must be a certified medical professional who is comfortable with and prepared for first response situations. The most common occurrences specific to this group of athletes are seizures. The other common occurrences are those you would see at any other competition event including overheating, allergic reactions and sprains/lacerations.
The most appropriate individuals for this role are doctors, PA’s, nurses, EMT/Fire personnel, athletic trainers, and orthopaedic groups.
Our 2016 Summer Games which will be June 3-June 5 in various locations in Raleigh and Cary. General (non-medical) volunteer can sign up through online here:
