In this episode we get deep and practical into the discussion of the challenges and opportunities within healthcare missions.  As CMDA partners with students and professionals in the healthcare space, there are tangible opportunities and advice for doctors, dentists, nurses, PAs and more.  Listen in as we discuss:

• How proactively engaging with the church and community leaders before the trip will yield helpful, longer-term results for any mission trip
• Bill's #1 tip for anyone going on their first trip
• Topics related to sustainability and shared-ownership with the locals and nationals
• Practical ways to engage a virtual team using technology (even if the team doesn't meet physically until they enter the country)
• How medical missions is getting harder with Ministries of Health in many countries and what you can do well in advance to ensure success
• Opportunities to explore more and meet Bill soon at the Remedy Conference by CMDA
