Arizona Emergency System for the Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals

Overview
The Arizona Emergency System for the Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (AZ-ESAR-VHP) is a secure, Web-based system used to register, qualify and credential Arizona health care professionals before a major public health or medical emergency.

The advance registration of volunteer health professionals enables the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), local health departments and emergency management to rapidly identify and mobilize health care volunteers.  Moreover, the system enables hospitals and other medical entities to meet crisis and surge capacity needs and ensure the continuance of critical health care services.

AZ-ESAR-VHP is administered by ADHS/Bureau of Public Health  Emergency Preparedness (BPHEP) and provided through EMCredential.

Your Expertise Is Needed
ADHS is seeking health care professionals who are willing to volunteer in the event of a large-scale public health or medical emergency. 

To have an effective emergency response plan and system in Arizona, the region and nation must be able to quickly identify and contact volunteer health professionals who have the specific skills and competencies needed to care for people who are injured or ill. 

A complete list of ESAR-VHP Critical/Priority Occupations is available.

Registration
Registration with AZ-ESAR-VHP is done online and takes under 30 minutes.  Step-by-step registration instructions are available.

Registrants should have vaccination reports, contact and personal information, and records on licenses, certifications and competencies readily available.  For security reasons, users will be automatically disconnected after 30 minutes of inactivity.
