Welcome Sacramento Medical Reserve Corps members!  This is a sign-up exercise for a mock disaster response event - a tidal wave came up the Sacramento River to Waterlogged Park in Sacramento. 

Do you like to plan events and get togethers?  The SMRC Foundation is looking for SMRC members to work on setting up and promoting fundraisers at restaurants. These events will be a great opp for SMRC members to get together for a fun social experience while raising funds to support our SMRC! 

SMRC Members, 

CA EMSA will hold a 3 day CAL-MAT training exercise at Mather.  MRC's from throughout the state are invited to have members participate.  Check out the info below and if interested, and available the full 3 days including a 17 hour exercise, save the date and sign up to be considered to participate.  Space will be limited to approximately 5 SMRC members.  I will send out additional details (including medical and/or non-medical qualifications) and an application to selected, qualified and active SMRC members when the exercise is open for registration.  

2026 CAL-MAT Statewide Full-Scale Exercise - Mather - June 3-6, 2026 Save-the-Date!

Hello, the California Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) invites the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) to participate in the California Medical Assistance Team (CAL-MAT) Statewide full-scale exercise.

Please Save-the-Date to have members of your MRC participate in the 2026 Statewide CAL-MAT Training and Exercise, June 3-6, 2026, as an unpaid volunteer. The training location is in Sacramento, CA. The exercise will be conducted at the California Army National Guard Base, in Mather, CA.

·       This exercise is limited to up to 100 CAL-MAT/MRC participants. EMSA is also establishing a waiting list to ensure adequate coverage on exercise day.

Sharing this opportunity below for a volunteer Camp Nurse. Might be a great opportunity for newly licensed RNs who are awaiting for jobs or retired licensed nurses?

We are reaching out for assistance and are looking for a potential camp nurse. We are a 100% volunteer, all-female organization, staffed by women in STEM fields, so we are looking for a female nurse to staff the camp. There is a good stipend, room and board, mileage, and all related supplies are covered. 

Our nurse candidate needs to commit to the entire program/entire week.

The stipend is $1500, and room and board are fully provided, along with all necessary materials, parking, etc. 

Nurse arrives Sat. morning, July 11, with other staff for setup and prep at the dorm building at UCD.

The campers arrive on Sunday, and the nurse collects their meds from their parents.

And everyone goes home Saturday, July 18, at midday.

The nurse also needs to be available to attend a few Zoom training sessions in the months prior to camp and, along with the Camp Directors, review the camp roster of campers and staff to identify any medical issues that may require accommodations.

We have a complete job description for a camp nurse available upon request, but here are some of the responsibilities during the week: 

There are also some duties that will be required before camp. These include:

We would appreciate it if you could forward this email to your nursing students, preferably those in their 1-2 years of nursing school. 

Additionally, if you know any RNs or NPs who already hold their certification and fit the description and would like more details, please forward their information to us. We are willing to discuss further details with any potential candidate.

Please forward any questions to techtrekdavis@gmail.com.
