These roles provide orientation to the BMC campus and its clients, patients, family/visitors, and staff. Serving as a Volunteer Ambassador helps a new volunteer learn about the patient experience (nervousness, confusion, anxiety, language barriers, or emotional distress) as well as learning to calm, listen to, assist, provide information to, and walk with patients as they access the medical center. For other roles, the hospital dictates the volunteer need, and Volunteer Services responds to fill those roles. Volunteers may request to be assigned to specific opportunities in specialized volunteer roles on specific floors and units as these become available—Volunteer Services will assist with this placement. ## Medical Clearance Medical clearance is required for all BMCHS employees and volunteers. ### Medical Clearance Requirements - **Tuberculosis (TB) Test** - 2-step TB skin test: One within the past 3 months, and another one within the past year OR - Blood Test (T-Spot or Q-Gold): Must be completed within the past 3 months - *\*Please note that these tests must be done within the 3 months of a volunteer's start date, which may be several weeks or months after the application has been submitted.
