Do you have questions about FISH? More than likely the questions you have have been asked before, many, many times. If that is the case, here are the answers:

How often does FISH meet?

Every odd week each quarter.

The Maclovio Rojas trips are roughly every other weekend during the school year, whereas the Brigada trips is around the 3rd week of winter quarter.

One to two days long on the weekends.

Do I need to be trained before joining FISH?

No, we will teach all FISH members the basics of medicine. We will provide training on measuring blood pressure and glucose levels, and there will also be refresher training before each trip. Certified EMT members will be training the associates.

Each FISH associate is assigned to a team with a specific role.

Administration, Development, Domestic Relations, International Relations, Marketing, and Training.

Being fluent in Spanish will provide an advantage on FISH trips, but we will teach you basic Spanish phrases for you to communicate with the patients.

No, we welcome people of all religious affiliations. While the organization was founded with religious ties, our Constitution states that FISH will not discriminate based on religious affiliation. This includes all positions of leadership.

No, in the past we have accepted students with geography, business, international development, and accounting majors
