ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, "THE MAJORITY OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE OTHERWISE QUALIFIED TO TREAT PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES FAIL TO DO SO.

MEDICAL VOLUNTEERS - HEALTHY ATHLETES OFFERS MEDICAL VOLUNTEERS OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE THEIR SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE THROUGH WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. PARTNERSHIPS WITH CERTIFYING ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION, OFFER CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS TO HEALTHY ATHLETES VOLUNTEERS AS INCENTIVE TO BECOME A PART OF THE PROGRAM AS IT SHAPES A MORE EDUCATED AND SYMPATHETIC MEDICAL CULTURE.
