Course Description: Designing Medical Mission Orientations and Courses.
It has been said the healthcare missions will either build confidence in the local health system or they will diminish it. Has your Church or organization ever sent out a medical mission team, or will they in the future? Do you know what standards to share with them to prepare them for service?

Lack of adherence to international practice standards has caused serious harm in some communities. The potential for harm in medical and healthcare missions is very real. Do you know what to share in their pre-trip orientation and training to assure teams first DO NO HARM?

This workshop reviews those key competencies healthcare teams need to know prior to service. We will also provide your Church or organization with medical mission orientation course template to prepare your teams for service. It is our prayer it will help you prepare and equip your healthcare teams to care for Gods’ global community. 

CME/CEU Summary: This course will review relevant medical, nursing and pharmacovigilance standards for community based practice in developing countries.
