The OCVMRC uses MRC unit data in
reports and presentations, and analyzes the data to assess the
maturation of the program, confirm that MRC units are carrying out
activities in support of the Surgeon General priorities, and to
best tailor the technical assistance provided to MRC units. In
addition, the data serves as an important recruitment tool for the
individual MRC units. Often, before committing to volunteer with an
MRC unit, potential volunteers go to the MRC website
(www.medicalreservecorps.gov) to review the local MRC profile,
which includes its name and point of contact, the most recent MRC
unit activities, the community served, the date established, a
narrative profile, and an up-to-date count of its
volunteers.
