Licensed clinicians, serving the clinic without leaving home.

Where you would serve
Land of Hope, Escuintla, Guatemala.
Our clinic partner in Escuintla asked for help reaching patients who cannot travel to the clinic door. A virtual shift pairs you with the in-country physician and a translator, so patients are seen, treated and followed up inside a system that already knows them.
You do not need to travel, take time off work, or raise support. A shift is a few hours, and the clinic sets the schedule around the patients who need you.
Who can serve
- Physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants
- Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses
- Pharmacists, dentists and mental health professionals
- Clinical students serving under a cleared supervisor
- Spanish translators who serve alongside a clinician
WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
An active, unrestricted license · a background check · a computer with a camera · reliable internet · a quiet, private room for patient visits.
Before you apply
The virtual care guidelines.
Every virtual volunteer agrees to these before their application is reviewed. They are short, and they are the reason a clinic in Guatemala can trust a clinician on a screen.
Apply to serve virtuallyVirtual care guidelines 1. I will serve only within the scope of my license and my role on the shift, under the supervision of the in-country physician named by One UMI's clinic partner. 2. I will not give medical advice, prescribe, or record patient information outside the systems the clinic provides on the shift. 3. I will join from a quiet, private room, with no one else present who is not part of the clinic team, and I will wear professional attire as I would in person. 4. I will not photograph, record, or screen-share any patient. 5. I will not exchange personal contact details with a patient, and any follow-up goes through the clinic partner. 6. I will tell the shift lead immediately if my connection drops, if I must step away, or if a visit needs a clinician with different skills. 7. I understand a virtual shift is not a substitute for the credential, license and background checks the office completes, and that any of my details may be verified before a shift is confirmed. 8. I will cancel as early as I can if I cannot serve, and never later than the notice period the office sets.
Ready when you are.
The application takes about ten minutes. If you have served with One UMI before, most of it is already on file.
