Summer Volunteer Program
UVA undergraduates should apply through the Madison House's medical services programs.
This intensive program for adult volunteers occurs during the summer months of May-August. We expect you to commit to a minimum of 50 hours of volunteer service, typically two shifts per week. We'll arrange your start and stop dates on an individual basis. We can accommodate vacations in most cases.
What to Expect: Your First Cancer Appointment
Once you have an appointment at one of our clinics, your referring doctor’s office will give you information about where to go to for your first cancer appointment.
Preparing For Your First Cancer Appointment
Get Your Scans
If UVA doesn’t have your scans (CT, PET or other imaging), biopsy slides or doctors’ notes that relate to your diagnosis, please have your referring doctor send them to UVA Cancer Center or bring a copy (CD or DVD for imaging and slides for biopsies) with you.
