Post Standard Highlights Local Physicians Volunteering in Haiti
The February 3 edition of the Post Standard included a column by Sean Kirst about local physicians who have volunteered to go to earthquake-devasted Haiti, titled "Where the Need is Great, Local medical volunteers do what they can for Haitian hospital."
All four physicians highlighted in the column are members of the Onondaga County Medical Society--Michael A. FitzGerald, MD, a gastoenterologist, Robert A. Dracker, MD, a pediatrician and current president of our County Medical Society, F. James Cirincione, MD, a retired pediatrician, and Timothy E. McCall, MD, an anesthesiologist.
The March issue of the Onondaga County Medical Society's quarterly magazine, The Bulletin, will include in-depth coverage of the local physicians' trips to Haiti.

Physician volunteers needed to support Haiti relief efforts—sign up today
The American Medical Association announced today its new Web site registry supported by the National Disaster Life Support (NDLS) that can easily coordinate the deployment of physicians who are willing to volunteer with federal and private sector response organizations in Haiti.

To help physician volunteers prepare for service, a free online training program from the AMA and the NDLS Education Consortium titled “Medical and public health responders: Prepare for the Haitian earthquake disaster relief efforts” is available. It will help physician volunteers gain a better understanding of the essential clinical and public health skills needed to manage individuals and populations affected by the earthquake.
