The Globalization of Medical Education: Can we use it as an evangelistic opportunity?
This session will discuss
how globalization is affecting medical education worldwide. We will discuss some of the requirements for, barriers,
to, and problems for the globalization of medical education to make a difference in developing countries. We will then discuss why there
is such a desperate need for medical education to build healthcare capacity, and will present examples of groups and individuals who have
used medical education to make a difference and as
an evangelistic opportunity. Participants will be challenged to consider both long- and/
or short-term opportunities to make a difference in medical care in developing countries by presenting opportunities and discussing the rewards now and for eternity.

Overcoming Unhealthy Dependency in Cross Cultural Health Care
Unhealthy dependency develops when we do for others what they can and should do for themselves. This seminar looks at how
the dependency syndrome develops in cross-cultural ministry and how it can be either avoided or overcome. Stories will be told about mission-established
churches which avoided the problem from the beginning and how others overcame
it and can now stand on
their own two feet. Some attention will be paid to
how short-term missions
can avoid contributing to
the dependency syndrome. Time will also be given to discussing the implications
of sustainability in Christian medical institutions among mission-established churches.
