Guidelines: Introduction

These guidelines provide a road map for prospective, new, and established Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) units to follow as they progress from concept through program planning, implementation, operation, and evaluation. It provides a broad range of actions and considerations that MRC units nationwide can adapt and use.

Many of the activities listed below may not apply to all MRC units. Because each MRC unit is unique, these activities will be specific to MRC units and their communities.

This publication does not identify mandatory actions or requirements for MRC units. Rather, it presents recommendations useful to the development and operation of MRC units. Each MRC unit must determine the most appropriate structure, functions, policies, and procedures based on its unique situation.
