Medical Reserve Corps: Deployment

An MRC deployment brings together members to effectively respond to a public health emergency or disaster. The deployment process follows these steps:

• Determines that MRC needs to be deployed
• Receives approval from Office of Academic Clinical Affairs leadership to initiate deployment
• Notifies MRC Members (text, email, phone call)

2. Medical Reserve Corps Member

• Receives notification of deployment (text, email, phone call)
• Determines interest and availability
• Obtains approval/permission from instructor/supervisor for absence, if you will be missing class or work time during your MRC deployment shift (coverage form to be completed)
• Signs up for deployment via Shiftboard

3. U of M Medical Reserve Corps Program

• Provides liability protections
• Supports member while deployed
• Provides training
