ORIENTATION FOR SHORT-TERM MEDICAL MISSIONS

Understanding the Guiding Principles for Conducting International Health Activities

This opening module will familiarize you with the Guiding Principles for Conducting International Health Activities, which bring to life the richness of Catholic social teaching and tradition as they relate to our health promotion activities in low- and middle-income communities across the globe.

Please note: This module includes questions for reflection. As each is provided, we recommend you pause the module to consider your response.
