A Note about the New Medical Clearance Requirements

As of February first, 2008, there has been a change in the screening process of Serve Asia workers. This should make the process easier for those who need minimal medical screening.

Medical Questionnaire #1 - Please complete this form and return it to us as soon as possible. You may submit it through 1) Fax, 2) Scan/Email or 3)Mail.

Medical Questionnaire #2 or other special forms - If we request this additional information from you, all information will be kept confidentially between you and our medical personnel. You may be asked to complete this second form to elaborate on questionnaire #1. Please uphold the integrity of our teams and long-term work by being honest and precise.

Medical clearance must be given by our medical personnel before you can be formally accepted into the program. We hope that this will be a simple and painless process!
