Since 2002, FIMRC has been operating programs designed to assist individuals in underserved communities around the globe. Currently, the organization is providing meaningful volunteer and educational opportunities through virtual programs that serve people in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

The FIMRC Virtual Global Health Volunteer Experience engages volunteers in learning modules, virtual site visits, and a remote service project. The program provides insight into the unique health challenges faced by low-resource communities. In addition, participants also learn how FIMRC’s works to respond to these challenges.

FIMRC is also offering its Virtual Global Health Fellowship. This certificate program gives participants the opportunity to explore various global health topics relevant to specific regions. Students work virtually in small groups and may choose to complete between one and three four-week sessions. The activities include regional research, clinical case studies, and volunteer projects.
