The MAVEN (Medical Alumni Volunteer Expert Network) Project mission is to improve access to quality healthcare to underserved populations by linking our corps of expert volunteer physicians to clinics and organizations in need. There is an urgent need for the following specialties: psychiatry, dermatology, endocrinology, nephrology, neurology, and gastronenterology.
For more information read the digital The MAVEN Project’s new Prospective Physician Volunteer Brochure https://www.flipsnack.com/MAVENproject/the-maven-project-informational-brochure.html and visit the website www.mavenproject.org
By creating a corps of experienced volunteer physicians (either MDs or Dos) equipped with cutting edge telehealth technology to enable remote consultations, education, and mentoring, The MAVEN Project is providing top notch specialty services to underserved patients seeking care at rural and inner city community clinics.
The MAVEN team handles onboarding and provides malpractice coverage, making the experience 'plug and play’ for volunteers. Volunteers can participate at the pace and level they desire, whether it be 'lunch and learn’ sessions for clinic staff in areas of your expertise, mentoring clinic staff, or patient care taking as little as 4 hours/month. A little time committment with a very big impact.
Over the decades, we have seen medicine change dramatically. Now with telemedicine, physicians in active practice, as well as those transitioning out of full time can utilizing their skills to care for patients receiving their healthcare at community clinica.
The MAVEN Project is a President’s Volunteer Service Award Certifying Organization. Our volunteers are recognized with this award at 100 hours of volunteer service.

Mission Statement
We improve access to healthcare for underserved populations by linking our corps of expert volunteer physicians to clinics and organizations in need.
Description
Rural and urban community health clinics are the core source of care for uninsured and underinsured individuals, Medicaid recipients, and people of all ages. Patients often suffer from poorly-treated chronic illnesses, contributing to avoidable mortality, morbidity, and health care costs.
Patients need physician specialists -- but clinics are often understaffed. Moreover, it's predicted that the United States will be short 130,000 physicians by 2025.
The MAVEN Project is a nonprofit organization that improves access to quality healthcare for underserved populations by linking its corps of expert volunteer physicians to clinics and organizations in need. It recruits retired, semi-retired, and other interested physicians through medical school alumni associations to volunteer their expertise, utilizing telehealth technology to link volunteers to clinics and community health centers.
