Is volunteering at Vanderbilt safe?
Yes. We make sure all our volunteers are vaccinated against a list of common illnesses and equipped with appropriate safety gear. We educate all our volunteers about emergencies and how to respond to them. We also offer compliance training that covers the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protecting patient privacy, among other topics.

What about training?
Once you complete an Online Application, attend an Information Session, and complete a personal volunteer interview, you'll receive information about training. Some volunteer positions will need special training; we will contact you ahead of time to arrange any sessions you need to attend. Back to Top
