Rappahannock-Rapidan Medical Reserve Corps

The Rappahannock-Rapidan Medical Reserve Corps is a group of volunteer health care professionals and community members trained to respond and assist with public health crises in the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock Virginia.  This unit is one of approximately 800 units that are part of the national Medical Reserve Corps program under the direction of the Office of the U. S. Surgeon General and 1 of 27 in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  In the fall of 2003, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District was awarded funding from the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services to establish a district Medical Reserve Corps

The Rappahannock-Rapidan Medical Reserve Corps recruits practicing, retired or otherwise employed medical professionals, as well as community members with non-medical skills.  Physicians, pharmacists, nurses, epidemiologists and paramedics are just a sampling of the medical community who are RRMRC members.  Clergy, interpreters, sign language interpreters, administrative assistants, volunteer coordinators and all other members of our community are also encouraged to consider becoming a part of the RRMRC. 

Membership in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Medical Reserve Corps requires

A.   Completed application
B.   Copy of medical licensure (if applicable)
C.   Liability, HIPAA and background check completed
D.   Volunteer Orientation and Initial Training

Once the initial orientation and training is completed, the RRMRC member will be able to attend a variety of training opportunities that are offered during the year. 

Please take a moment to review our training schedule, read our newsletter and/or register for service.  We appreciate your time and interest and hope to have you as an active Medical Reserve Corps member in the very near future.
