RPCV Support Services


Since 2008, Dr. Charlotte Murphy has worked as an MD in the field of psychiatry, providing psychiatric evaluations, care, and treatment for patients. Charlotte Murphy, MD, also holds membership in the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCV) organization.

RPCV offers a number of services that help former Peace Corps members move forward in their post-service lives. Many of these services focus on health care, though it also handles documentation issues.

Peace Corps volunteers often need documentation of their time of service. RPCV offers certifications of service, which provide general-purpose proof of time spent in the Peace Corps, and assists former Peace Corps volunteers with the application of Peace Corps service time toward federal retirement benefits.

During service, the Peace Corps handles the medical needs of members, and the RPCV strives to make the transition to post-service health care efficient. In the short term, the RPCV provides health insurance for volunteers until they can find their own health care. It also handles injury-related compensation issues as well as medical and dental evaluations of service-related conditions.
