Vot-ER Peer Pod Community Survey

Thank you for signing up for the Vot-ER Peer Pods pilot. We're trying to learn what actually helps Vot-ER volunteers feel supported, and your answers below are a big part of that. It takes about 5 minutes. Your responses will be kept confidential and used to understand the experience of Vot-ER volunteers.

Throughout this survey, when we ask about “this community,” please answer with other clinicians who volunteer with Vot-ER in mind.

The following questions ask about your sense of community with other clinicians who volunteer with Vot-ER. There are no right or wrong answers. Please answer based on your honest current experience.
