How to Start an MRC

The Office of the Civilian Volunteer Medical Reserve Corps (OCVMRC) is committed to helping establish a strong, viable national network of local MRC units. In order to be approved for initial registration, and to continue that registration status, MRC units must meet the unit registration criteria outlined below. These registration criteria encompass the basic and fundamental principles necessary to successfully implement and administer an MRC. These criteria also serve as a baseline that allows the OCVMRC to monitor and evaluate initial and ongoing efforts of individual MRC units.
