"Am I 'called' to missions?" We're all familiar with that question and perhaps we've asked it ourselves, but what exactly is a 'call' to missions? In this session we will take a look at what we usually mean by "calling" and what the Bible has to say about God's guidance of our lives. Once we see what God promises us, and what he desires for the world, we are set free to pursue, with confidence, whatever paths he opens up.

This session will cover the main areas of pediatric development and important milestones to look for when assessing the pediatric patient for delays.

This is the second part of a two part workshop. In Part II of this workshop case studies will be reviewed and discussed. Together we will discuss these important questions and define pathways for healthcare mission teams to have a positive long-term impact on the communities they serve. Handouts of the case studies will be used to facilitate small group discussion and strategy development. Case studies will be assessed in the context of four primary areas: 1) Patient Safety, 2) Healthcare System Integration and Collaboration, 3) Facilitation of Health Development and 4) Community Empowerment.

There are 65 million refugees and internally displaced people in the world today. This session will address the refugee crisis both globally and locally. We will discuss the refugee resettlement process to the United States and, more specifically, to Louisville, Kentucky. Who are the refugees coming to Louisville? What are the major health issues they bring with them and challenges they face post-migration. As healthcare providers, how can we provide holistic care that addresses all aspects of the person?
