Sports Physical Night Volunteers Needed

At St. Francis we have had a long standing tradition of hosting Sports Physical Night during the first week in June. During this event, students who want to participate in Athletics on campus can come to campus receive a pre-participation exam by a volunteer physician for a reasonable cost.  We are in need of licensed MDs, ODs Nurses and PAs to assist with providing services associated with a healthy child pre-participation exam on June 1 from 5:45-7:45 p.m.. Your valuable volunteer time will be worth triple hours for physicians and double hours for Nurses (totaling approximately 4-6 hrs per medical volunteer).

We will also need non-clinical volunteers to help with registration, parking and other support positions. Volunteers would be receiving regular parent hours arriving at 5:15 to help with set up and finishing approximately 7:30 p.m. Please check with your employer to make sure your medical liability insurance extends to cover for this event. St. Francis insurance does not extend to physicians. Most employers will allow “moonlighting” for events such as this but there may be a form to complete.

Please click on the VolunteerSpot link below to register as a volunteer.  If you have any questions please email or Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine, Kelly Ketcham at kketcham@stfrancishs.org
