Frequently Asked Questions

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?

It is easy to get involved! Simply become a paid member and attend any of our events!  A great way to start is with general meetings on even week Tuesdays from 7-8pm! 

HOW LONG DOES THE MEMBERSHIP LAST?

The annual membership fee ($30) lasts for an entire academic school year. Regardless of when you pay your membership fees, your membership will be valid from the beginning of Fall Quarter until the end of Summer. 

WHAT ARE CLINIC POINTS AND HOW DO I EARN THEM?

Points are used to help our Clinic Coordinators decide who will be selected to attend the monthly clinic trips. They provide a means of quantifying one's participation in club events and activities. It is easy to earn points, attend our events (general meetings, socials, fundraisers, volunteering events, or committee meetings). 

HOW MANY CLINIC POINTS DO I HAVE?

You may check the total amount of points you have at anytime by contacting .

 

If you are missing points or discover any discrepancies, please contact the UCI Flying Samaritans Secretary us so we can fix it as soon as possible.

HOW DO I GET ON TRIPS AND AM I REQUIRED TO SPEAK SPANISH? 

To be eligible for a clinic trip, you must have an active paid membership and collected a minimum of 4 clinic points. Our Clinic Coordinators will select participants based on the number of points each applicant earned, as well as their activity in the club. You are not required to speak Spanish to attend these trips. If you cannot speak Spanish, you will be paired with a Spanish-speaking translator. 

IF I HAVE ALREADY GRADUATED, CAN I ATTEND CLINIC TRIPS? 

Yes. However, you are subject to the same point system that governs active undergraduate Flying Samaritans general members.

IF I AM NOT A STUDENT FROM UCI, CAN I ATTEND CLINIC TRIPS?

Yes, however, due to the demand and limited amount of spots available for each clinic trip, you will more likely be selected if you sign up as a driver.

DO I NEED A PASSPORT TO ATTEND CLINIC TRIPS? 

Yes, it is mandatory for all clinic trip participants to possess a VALID, non-expired Passport or a U.S. Permanent Residents Card (also known as a green card). If you are not a U.S. permanent resident or citizen, your passport MUST contain a visa that grants you re-entry to the United States.
