Answers to your questions are as follows: 1) TEEEPS certification was one of DUFH's campaign during the earthquake relief era to remind doctors the importance of delivering quality care at all times, especially during a chaotic environment like the earhtquake. It is free to be certified, as it is free to join DUFH! Once the website is back up we will have a section for healthcare professionals to put in their names and email addresses for them to pledge to TEEEPS and therefore become both certified and official member of DUFH. 2) Remeber, in order to go down to Haiti with DUFH you have to go through an application process which will also be available once the site is back up. You will need to follow all immunization recommendations for Haiti per the CDC and WHO websites. 3) Once accepted into the DUFH family you will have access to all of DUFH accomodations. The accomodations varies base on which site in Haiti you will be stationed. You will be expected to make monetary contributions to sustain these accomodations. 4) The living arrangements are coordinated base on your stationed site. You can stay anywhere from hospital campus lodging to secured hotel rooms. 5) Once selected you will be notified on what supplies to bring with you base on the site you are stationed. For the most part you will not be required to bring medications with you. Some common supplies carried are personal hygiene supplies, pen/pencils, stethoscope, otoscope, flashlights and hand senitizers. Once again, thank you for your interest in DUFH and we would like it very much that you return once our website is back up.

Hopefully can make it in October. A few practical questions: 1. What is the TEEPS certification consist of? Do you have to pay? 2. Any immunizations recommended prior to going down to Haiti? 3. How is the living arrangement coordinated? 4. What supplies do I need to bring with me? Thanks I am excited to join the team going down to Haiti. Hopefully can make it in October.
