College/Grad Student Volunteers

College /Grad Student Volunteer Opportunities at VCUHS

At the beginning of each semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer) we welcome students from surrounding colleges and universities.  College /Grad Students can become involved in many ways at the hospital.  To ensure you are able to volunteer in the area of your choice, it is helpful to begin working on the requirements before the semester begins.

Requirements:

1. All interested students must return COMPLETED application and health forms to Volunteer Services by posted deadline.  There are no exceptions.   The deadline for the Fall 2010 semester has passed.  Please check back in late November for the Spring 2011 application.
2. All volunteers must attend one of the orientation sessions listed on the application.
3. Once completed application and health forms are turned into Volunteer Services, it is the student’s responsibility to sign up for a unit and time to volunteer. (Please see Volunteer Services for sign up book).

Volunteer opportunities change from semester to semester but the following is a list of areas that have previously accepted College/ Grad Student Volunteers:

Burn Unit CHEC (Community Health Education Center) Emergency Department Information Desk Labor and Delivery Massey Cancer Center Occupational Therapy Palliative Care	Pediatric Units Peri-Surgical Pharmacy Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) Physical Therapy Virginia Treatment Center for Children Women’s Health
