Volunteer Application

The primary mission of Bluffton Jasper County Volunteers in Medicine (BJVIM) is to understand and serve the health and wellness needs of the medically underserved population living and/or working in greater Bluffton and Jasper County. In working with our patients, their confidentiality is of utmost importance to the work we do here.

I shall:
1. Uphold the philosophy and standards of BJVIM;
2. Not seek to obtain confidential information from a patient unless it is in the course of my job responsibilities;
3. Maintain all information that I obtain concerning patients, doctors and staff as confidential.
4. Conduct myself with dignity, courtesy and consideration of others, and endeavor to be professional;
5. Be punctual, conscientious and dependable;
6. Make my best effort to fulfill my commitment to BJVIM by completing all assignments; and
7. Bring to the attention of the Volunteer Coordinator any problems that impact my ability to meet the above standards, or that impact the BJVIM standards.

I agree to:
1. Wear my ID badge;
2. Review the schedule and alert the Volunteer Coordinator of any scheduling conflicts; and
3. Submit to immunizations (TB, Hepatitis B, etc.) that may be necessary.

I understand that BJVIM reserves the right to terminate my volunteer status as a result of:
1. Failure to comply with BJVIM policies, rules and regulations;
2. Excessive absences without prior notification;
3. Unsatisfactory behavior or attitude not in the spirit of VIM; and
4. Any other circumstance that would make my continued service contrary to the best interest of BJVIM.
