Scholarships for CIR Residents and Alumni to Volunteer in Haiti
Have you wanted to go to Haiti to assist in that critical humanitarian effort, but just weren’t sure how? The CIR Policy and Education Initiative (PEI) is offering a unique opportunity for CIR residents and alumni to do just that.
CIRPEI
The CIR Policy and Education Initiative, CIR’s nonprofit organization, was founded on CIR’s 50th Anniversary in 2007 through the generous donations of resident physician alumni. Today, CIRPEI is a thriving organization that seeks to educate physicians, other medical professionals and the general public about:
- Ways to increase access to health care
- How patient care can be improved
- Foster discussion on the challenges and problems faced by resident physicians in the overall health care system so solutions can be found
CIRPEI most recently won a grant from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) to continue its patient safety work with NYC’s Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC). To learn more about the CIR Policy and Education Initiative, please visit www.cirpei.org.
CIR/SEIU Healthcare is pleased to publish interviews with alumni in each new issue of CIR Vitals. Below you can read about their involvement with CIR and their advocacy and work as medical providers.
