The Philadelphia Department of Public Health is looking to activate its Medical Reserve Corps for assistance with the COVID-19 response and are in need of public health and health care professionals, including students.

Volunteer assignments include answering calls in a call-center, assisting with specimen processing, administrative assistance for test sites, and other public health response activities. PDPH is developing a webinar training to manage the public inquiry call center, and may also use volunteers for other tasks in the future, from assembling kits to doing logistics, among other functions.
