Participate

The success of the IOP is dependent on the contributions of our local Canadian partners, our Donors, an Administrative team, local Volunteers, a Board of Directors, an Academic Advisory Committee and most importantly, our partners and trainees from developing countries

Volunteer:

Historically, IOP volunteers have travelled in teams to developing countries to provide on site education. Volunteer teams are comprised of local physicians and healthcare team members like nurses, pharmacists, technologists, biomedical engineers, maintenance personnel. More recently our volunteers assist with program development and/or serve on committees and the Board of Directors.

If you are interested in a volunteer opportunity, please email.
