The Armenian Medical Association would like to extend an invitation to any young Diasporan Armenians interested in the field of medicine that would like to volunteer in Armenia. The Armenian Medical Association, in collaboration with Birthright Armenia, has begun a new program that aims to give Diasporan Armenians between the ages of eighteen and thirty-two the opportunity to volunteer in a medical capacity in Armenia-networking with healthcare professionals in Armenia and forging future links between medicine in Armenia and in Armenian communities abroad. The Armenian Medical Association, with its extensive network of medical professionals, will be able to find and place those interested in suitable medical positions.

The Armenian Medical Association is a non-governmental, non-partisan organization of medical professionals who strive to advance medicine in Armenia. For more information on the Armenian Medical Association please refer to our website at www.armeda.am.

The Armenian Medical Association with the cooperation of Birthright Armenia encourages young Armenians to explore their heritage. Unlike other opportunities, this program offers many ways to easily discover Armenia, including fully subsidized round-trip travel costs to any individuals who qualify with Birthright Armenia's criteria. It is Birthright Armenia's mission to strengthen ties between the homeland and Diasporan youth by affording young Armenians an opportunity to be a part of Armenia's daily life and to contribute to Armenia's development through work, study and volunteer experiences, while developing life-long personal ties and a renewed sense of Armenian identity.

For the exact specifications for qualifying for Birthright Armenia, and for more information on the organization, please refer to their website at www.birthrightarmenia.org.
