FELLOWSHIPS AND FUNDRAISING

HVO volunteers pay for transportation to and from the sites. Some sites provide room, board and daily transportation for volunteers once they arrive. Most travel, living expenses and related costs are tax-deductible for those who file tax returns with the US Internal Revenue Service.

HVO manages a fellowship for final year anesthesiology residents and a fellowship for residents/fellows in hand surgery. Details on the application process will be posted on this site at a later date. If you subscribe to the HVO e-newsletter, the Net Connection, you will be notified about the application process and deadlines for submission. For a list of active fellowships, click here.

HVO has two fundraising tools available to members and volunteers interested in raising funds to support a specific HVO project or to help offset the out-of-pocket costs of an assignment.

In combining the highest professional standards of health care with his advocacy for the poor, the young and the disenfranchised, Dr. Josephson stood as an example and inspiration to others. As an ongoing commitment to the contribution of his humanitarian work, this fund will provide health care professionals with the financial resources necessary to deliver medical services to those in need throughout the world.
