We ask volunteers to commit 100 hours of time at the clinic in 6 months with a minimum of 4 hours per volunteer shift each week. We provide extensive volunteer training, and require each volunteer to attend three classes of two hours each. The classes include Volunteer Orientation, a computer class on our online medical records system called Practice Fusion, and a computer class about the Clara's House particular mix of computer programs and systems.
