Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) 1 :
The mission of the MRC is to organize medical, public health, and other volunteers in support of existing programs and resources to improve the health and safety of communities and the Nation. MRC units provide personnel to support and supplement the existing emergency and public health agencies in the community. MRC leaders are encouraged to adopt an all-hazards approach and more broad-based public health initiatives, including a focus on increasing disease prevention efforts, and enhancing emergency preparedness. Medical Reserve Corps volunteers include medical and public health professionals such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, veterinarians, and epidemiologists.
