Abstract
Volunteerism is actively seeking opportunities to assist others in need and sustaining these commitments at considerable personal cost. Altruism is the fact of caring about the needs of others and being helpful, even if one derives no personal benefit. As evidenced by medical and scientific research journal readers, reviewers, editors, authors, and leaders-physicians and medical researchers are evidence-based altruistic. While this is not unique to our profession, to care for others is the very essence of what we do.
